  1. the helical growth could be unilateral wind twisting and if that "twist" is forced in the other direction by some force then that can cause stem rupture sometimes (if the opposite twist is severe enough) this bending and twisting (helical) can also be caused due to trees having a spiral grain especially where needed for distribution of water when root spheres are dry at one side to enable uniform distribution of supplies to all branches on all sides

    The Amazon

    More than 20% of the world's oxygen is produced in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, which is why it's often described at the lungs of the planet. The Rainforest is one of the world's natural marvels, with more than half of the estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects on earth, living in its tropical forest. However, between May 2000 and August 2005, Brazil lost more than 132,000 square kilometers of forest—an area larger than Greece — and since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometres of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. With de-forestation running at such a rapid rate, experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
