IMG_0389.JPG Has anyone seen or done a windswept Brazilian rain tree?

Was just sitting here staring at my tree searching for its purpose and from this angle it sure looks windswept to me.....

I'm not seeing it :) It looks more limp than windswept. I think just looking at the outline, the vertical trunk is not giving the feeling that the wind is bending it over...

Windswept is really hard to pull off. I think with BRT because of the compound leaves it lends itself to rounded apexes and layered foliage masses - oak style or flat top savanna style trees.
