That's incredible! I wish I had a tree like that one! I'd plant wildflowers in the nooks and crannies:)

that is one determined tree! it looks very old, or at least is twisted enough to be very old.

lol I think trees only get like that in extreme conditions, struggling on the edge of survival. I don't think any gardener could deliberately be that cruel to a tree to make it grow like this!

Absolutely agree with you, Fran.

....But the culture of bonsai is, in fact, based on this principle.

I don't do bonsai - although keeping plants in pots is a sort of bonsai, not letting the roots grow as they wish, confining them and so stunting their growth, that can't be helped if one doesn't have ground space to spare.

Lol I did a poem years ago, about "human bonsai", people whose "roots" were twisted while they were young and so who grow up not acheiving their full potential!
