I wonder how it gets like that.

I think a lot of it has to do with the extremely harsh environment that exists there much of the time. Very high temperatures in the summer and very cold temperatures in the winter along with very windy conditions at any time of the years has resulted in a climate where plants tend to be short and relatively low to the ground — and twisted, kind of like bonsai plants.

Oh - wow. That is pretty cool. In Aruba, the Divi trees are all growing to one side because of the direction of the wind there. It’s amazing how much the environment “shapes” plant life.
