One of my favorite trees at the moment.

One of my favorite trees at the moment. it was lagging behind at the beginning of the season, but I have to say it now has one of the most improved trunks of any of my trees. Likely due to the added stress from the angle. I've dangled a rock off of it a few times in the past to weigh it down, but I was trying to bend the branch, so I took it off because I realized I was putting stress on the trunk. I'm sure that also accidentally added thickness.
