This series of pictures illustrates what happens to trees that are planted too close to one another as they mature.
 |
| In the first picture you can see trees that are bending (this would have been even more apparent if I had taken a picture more in line with the ground). These trees are seeking light which is necessary to produce the food the tree needs to survive. This is a group of trees to the left of the 11th green. |
 |
| These trees are to the left of the 3rd green. You can see the 2 trees on the right are growing to the north and one of the trees on the left is growing to the south. |
 |
| These are two trees to the right of #3 green. Here again you can see they are growing slightly in opposite directions to increase their light intake. |
 |
| These trees are too close to each other and you can see some strange branching that could be have happened in response to needing more light. |
