It's called the Gushing Water Tree. This mulberry tree in Montenegro has cracks in its trunk. When the area floods with rains, pressure from underground springs forces water up through the cracks and out a hole midway up the trunk.
Radio Free Europe says that the water pressure pushes the water through the roots, but I'm skeptical that roots work that way.

I assume that the crack / hollowed out part of the tree jsut reaches down to the roots where the water can enter the void... ad that the tree just serves as a kind of pressure relief pipe..
