Abstract
⺠Unilateral wind induces asymmetric, windswept growth in trees. ⺠The windswept growth form is suggestive of a negative thigmotropic growth response. ⺠The growth form is interpreted as either physiologically or biomechanical in origin. ⺠Data supports a biomechanical hypothesis for the origin of windswept growth. ⺠The hypothesis that the windswept grow form is of thigmotropic origin is rejected.
