The unusual bend in this tree trunk might seem like an accident of nature, but there’s a more interesting story about how this tree trunk was bent into its odd shape.

8 Comments on Bent Trees Have a Fascinating Story
Rose
What a fascinating story and history. It's a shame some are being destroyed without knowledge or respect for their creation.

Rose, I enjoyed this interesting story about the historic Bent Tree. How sad that they are being destroyed!
Rose... what an interesting post. Up in the Dallas area, there are many neighborhoods with the words Bent Tree in them. The next time I actually see a tree that is bent like the one in your post... I will be sure to take a closer look to see if it is indicating something.
In a way... they actually are... "talking trees." Or at least, trees with a story to tell.
That is so cool! I did not know that. But I will remember it!! Did you see our BIG Tent as you drove through Riverside on the way to Centerville?! :))
Such an interesting post and a beautiful tree - more beautiful now that I know the story behind it. Thank you for sharing!
Rose: You will find several of those trees all throughout my area. Destroying those trees is destroying history, what a shame.
WOW! I never knew the significance of a bend tree. I think I have seen only one in my life time. I will start to look for them in earnest next time I am in the hill country.
Rose - I first became acquainted with this story in Northern, WI. There I learned the same story about the Pottawatomie Indians. The purpose of the bent the tree was to point to the lake. Yes! There is significance in this type of learning and those of us who know the story, must do our best to protect the trees.
God bless the descendants of the Native American Indians and all those that learn to appreciate American heritage!
Thanks for posting this great story. I didn't know trees like this could be found in Centerville, Texas. I'm happy that Joni re-blogged your story, or I would have missed it.
