Small Weathered Live Oak Trees at Halyburton Park
This photograph was taken about 1pm Sunday at Halyburton Park in Wilmington, NC. These live oak trees (quercus virginiana) have been weathered from the wind over time. They are growing bent over in the general direction the wind blows. Hurricanes common to the area may have helped shape them over time. They are also reaching out in the direction of the clear patch that receives more sun. Both interspecific competition for the sun with other species of trees and intraspecific competition with each other can be observed in the photograph.
