Hate to break your bubble, but those aren't aerials. That is a technique called root wrapping. I have a lot of Serrisa's and had to go to the site and see what you were referring to, since none of the five variants I have develop aerial roots. Basic technique to create that tree was to allow the suckers to grow rather than cutting them off, that way multiple trunks were developed. Then at some point in time the roots were combed straight down and the top inch or two were wrapped with twine or string then placed in a growth pot for a couple of years. Just like root over rock, then the roots were slowly exposed and allowed to harden out.
