Looks like a tree that I had rescued from the bitter sweet. That nasty vine gets huge and wraps itself around any thing it can get a hold of. The tree has a permanent twist to it to this day. Neat tree.
i have no clue what kind of tree, i think its a HANGIN tree, a tavern from the early 1800's sits right next to it, looks creepy to me, sure thats where they hung the trouble makers!
