Ever seen a tree growing upside-down?

Half way down this page are trees potted upside down... some
knucklehead calls it art.

But he raises an interesting point. Since half of a tree (roughly) is
underground, when foresters harvest trees to make lumber, are they not
leaving half the wood behind? Isn't this a significant waste of resources?

I could envision a whole new industry: 2x4s made from tree roots would come
already bent and twisted - no need for all that labor to do it by hand.

The mind reels at the possibilities.
