That is just odd. The guy must have been shining a flashlight down his throat to keep it lit. Is the guy so sure he didn't just swallow a bit of fir tree and thought it was a large bug?Silicon Waffle said:And this shows that they may be able to grow wherever possible.
Maybe you have the answer to a mystery I found.jim mcnamara said:Krumholz and flag trees are the effect of either/or salt spray and strong very cold prevailing wind direction. See the pictures here:

Trees grow in a certain direction due to a combination of environmental factors and internal mechanisms. The primary factor is the direction of sunlight, which typically leads to trees growing taller on one side to reach for more light. Other factors such as wind direction, gravity, and the presence of other nearby trees can also influence the direction of tree growth.
Yes, trees can change their growth direction over time. This is primarily due to changes in the surrounding environment, such as the direction of sunlight or the presence of obstacles. Trees can also change their growth direction in response to pruning or other forms of human intervention.
No, not all trees grow straight up. Some species, such as palm trees, grow in a curved or leaning shape. This can be due to the natural shape of the species or environmental factors such as wind or slope of the land.
Scientists use a variety of techniques to study the direction of tree growth. This can include measuring the angle of tree trunks and branches, using growth rings to track changes over time, and using specialized tools such as inclinometers or photogrammetry to measure the direction of growth with precision.
Yes, the direction of tree growth can have an impact on the health of the tree. If a tree is growing in an unnatural direction, it may be a sign of stress or damage. Additionally, if a tree is leaning or growing in a way that puts stress on its trunk or branches, it can make the tree more vulnerable to disease or damage.
