In Abbey Woods park stands or rather leans this tree. Though it is exposed on a hillside, no other trees nearby grow like this so it cannot be the wind that has caused to lean like this

Mulberry trees to live to a great age and can be found next to an Abbey like this one, and the older they are the more they need propping up - http://www.panoramio.com/photo/1255522

hi muba,

thanks for entering the contest! when you get a chance, please cast your vote for up to 5 entrants right in the contest forum thread where you posted your photo. see rule #4 for details.

also, please re-read (i trust you read all the rules once already ;) rules #5/6 about the counting process, according to which all contestants are expected to play a small part in counting, unless they have a good excuse and cannot attend to their duty when the time comes (from the 22nd to the 24th) which i've been told is Easter weekend (saturday - monday)! if you require just a couple days after the 24th, then it is OK.

thanks again and good luck! :) cheers, brian

In all likleyhood this trees, since it was planted, started slanting & tending to lean this way because of little or nothing care from residents/gardeners. We have lots of trees bending this way in our surrondings (north Ital. Nevertheless this photo illustrating this particular tree... ,admittedly, is rather a rare marvel. Cheerio Ivano
