Reply to comment by IBeTrippin in TIL: humans in northeast part of India have been "growing" bridges for centuries, by manipulating the living roots of certain trees by Neryl

I'm sure this has come up in other fantasy stories that I'm not aware of but this exact idea was actually used in the Eragon books! The elves live in tree houses that they make by singing to trees in the Ancient Language, encouraging them to grow in certain ways.
