Venus Trees grow toward the sun. Sometimes a proud tree is bent and broken by powerful natural forces.
Trees grow toward the sun.
Reaction wood is formed. This wood has an unusual amount of Lignin . In broad-leaf trees this abundance of lignin causes the growth cells on the top part of the limb to grow shorter. Over a period of time the tree is forced to grow upward again. Then the tree starts growing vertically again, the cells go back to normal.
