I've recently moved to cornwall, and love it here. I've been taken by the landscape, especially the trees. I've noticed that there seems to be a strange quality to them - all of them, except the few pines near us, seem to have a strange corkscrew quality to them. They seem to twist round from base to tip.
It's unlike anything I've seen before, and not reserved (generally) to species. For example, there's an oak forest near us. We had oaks back where I used to live in the North West, and they tended, like most trees, to favour growth on the south. But I don;t see that here. All I see is this wierd twist to branches and trunks.
What's the cause of this. Is it the wind, some peculiarity of the sun?
Anyone know?
