You can see this tree starting to grow out. Apparently, trimming like this is called "cloud pruning".

Thank you. Thursdays are often a difficult day for me and your tree time is a wonderful antidote.

River said...

Does #4 naturally grow like that or has someone gotten creative with a hedge trimmer?

Bilbo said...

#13 looks like me before I got my hair cut earlier this week. #4 looks like a dendrological tumor.

Lady M said...

Number 4 looks like a topiary masterpiece.

Kathy G said...

I wondered about #4 also. Mike, do some research and inform us :-)

I always look forward to Thursday Trees. There is something calming and therapeutic about trees, even pictures of trees.

#4 intrigues me today!

Mike said...

Sue - Glad it helps.

River - Looks like it's something called "cloud pruning". See the new picture and the link.

Bill - I still think you should go back to your post-retirement hairdo.

Lady - It apparently is.

Kathy - Check the new picture and link.

John - When are you going to start your backyard forest? I still say black walnut. It will make your kids rich someday.

Deb - See the new picture 4a and go to the link.

Kathy G said...

Thanks to your research I learned something today.

Mike said...

Kathy - Me too!

Ah, so much better to look at trees than you-know-whose mug shot.

Kirk said...

So, on number 4, is each of those bush-like things growing on a different branch?

Cloud pruning my butt. I know broccoli when I see it!
Great pics! Love your tree theme.

The cloud-pruning is very weird! I like my trees more like the rest of the ones in the post. Some beauties today.

Mike said...

Shaw - Absolutely!

Kirk - Probably. I'm not sure.

Mark - HA!

Jenny - Weird indeed. Some people's idea of fun is just... weird. (to me) (I don't want anyone judging the weird stuff I do.)

Hope you can see this.

Mark - I've posted that. But I didn't know there was a name to go along with it. I'll post it again with the explanation.
