These trees were knocked over when they were quite young, but not completely broken off. They continued to grow while horizontal and gradually grew back to the vertical.

I once made some stair handrail from two western red cedars that had been flattened by a bigger tree that fell on them and they grew back similar to these trees.


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
