So it was not cold outside today so I went outside and there was this tree in the woods that grew into a spiral!

It is kind of hard to see it in the pictures but you can see it.

See! How funky is that! I think a vine grew around it and that made it grow in a cool way lol I dunno.

Yup, that sure is a tree.

Yes, it is a tree. Now, do you want to know why it grew like that?

I found this guy named Dr. KillGood, and he made the most useless post ever. (56K warning!!!1!)

Before I migrated to Canada, my mom stopped by a gardening supply to buy a rose. Then I saw this:

"How can you make that?" I asked the saleslady.

"When they are small and their stems are still flexible, they are braided and taped. The tree will adjust and retain that shape when it hardens."

"*amazed*"

So, probably, that tree was wrenched somehow when it was small.

Yeah, like I said, there is a vine growing around it in a spiral.

I disagree. This thread is interesting. Dr. Killgood posted something that he thought some of us (me maybe others) would be interested in.

I mean, it is not like you find a tree that is growing in a spiral every day or anything. Not like it is the hardest thing to find ever, but it is cool IMO.

Sure it's cool... but is it really nessecary to post 5 pictures of the exact same thing at different angles? I mean pick the best one and show it. The last picture would have sufficed.

Anyway, cool tree. Even though it is just a tree... Don't get too excited there bud

Just because Killgood spams a lot doesn't mean everything he posts is spam. I for one find this quite interesting, it looks like a drill.

Valium · Post by **Valium** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 5:39 pm

Its still just a tree. Theres not a whole lot to discuss about it.

To put this thread more or less back on track.

Can this be done with most trees or just certain ones?
