You can see this tree starting to grow out. Apparently, trimming like this is called "cloud pruning".
It Was Lovely While It Lasted

There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

Thank you. Thursdays are often a difficult day for me and your tree time is a wonderful antidote.
Does #4 naturally grow like that or has someone gotten creative with a hedge trimmer?
#13 looks like me before I got my hair cut earlier this week. #4 looks like a dendrological tumor.
Number 4 looks like a topiary masterpiece.
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!
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.
Thanks to your research I learned something today.
Kathy - Me too!
Ah, so much better to look at trees than you-know-whose mug shot.
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.
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.
