You know how some times you see some life form that has obviously had a hard life....and you wonder " what the heck happened here ". That windswept, group of sevenesque, hard scarred tree line of lake Nippissing, anywhere near Sudbury kind of botanical misery, it's eerie. I wish I was this tree's literary agent. Such an obviously abusive childhood should not go unexplained. If anyone has even the remotest idea as to how this might have happened....please.... let me know!!

Easy, 2 things: 1) Nippissing is spelled Nipissing, 2) ice storm damage - when the trees get tons of freezing rain, especially the cedars, they often bend like this rahter than snap. There are lots of examples of this near Mike's place in Oxford Mills.
Okay, 1)I misspelled nippissing, again, just to bother you, 2) We have not had that kind of ice storm in these parts for over 100 years. I need a better explanation!!
some trees start out bent over, for various reasons: other trees in their way or a heavy snow in the winter, then, since their trunk is already bent, they just continue to grow with the bend.
and I only get "bothered" because I went to Nipppisssing U and I live in Nippissing District and I live near Lake Nipissing, but not really bothered.
Easier, 2 things : 1) rahter is spelled rather 2) as indicated by the author, it's led a very tiring life.
