I'm curious as to when the dividing line was between the tree growing that way naturally, and someone deliberately shaping it.

 

When I was a child, a tree in my neighborhood park was cut down to a stump due to disease, but a new trunk started growing out of it. Kids started climbing on it after it got large enough, which forced to it to grown leaning toward the side. Eventually the tilt grew so severe that the city had to put posts under the trunk to support it, and sealant to protect exposed roots being dragged out of the ground. The tree became a much-loved local landmark, and a very cool tree to climb on. Sadly it started to break down from its own eccentric weight several years ago, and had to be uprooted. That tree literally marked a half-century of my own life.
