Tree growth habit under wind stress

[Thor's Hammer]

Interesting pics. I wonder if Stig knows the location?


This old pink house is situated at the old dunes, a few hundred meters from the west coast, a very windy place were there isn’t much that can grow. So the tree can only grow where it has shelter. It has looked this way always. - Marianne Kjølner

No I don't, but that is totally cool!

My wife and I talked it over and agreed that it is a common Medlar Mespilus germanica which is pretty rare here and most certainly not found in locations where the only other thing able to grow is Rosa rogusa

That is cool...

unique! Says a lot for landscape design.

I see old topping cuts, so it probably hasn't looked this way "always". Still a really cool looking tree, though.

I've seen people use hedge trimmers on trees and give them a rather "perfect" shape as well.

That tree's been groomed to look like that, which is awesome.

No doubt! I agree. Still cool though.
