Amazing trees in Poland

Funky looking trees Why do they all go North though??Why not east?, bit longitudinalist isn't it.

 

In northern hemisphere the trees will grow back to the light. Vice versa in the southern. Its a detail used in budding nursery stock, bud on north side and the growth will "pull" south to make a straighter union and a visually superior plant sooner. More of an old school thing.

That makes sense when I think it through. Cheers
