Trees are another kind of ocean. Look up to see crown shyness where trees keep a gentle distance, weaving a natural canvas against the sky. Nature teaches us the perfect sense of boundaries.

Crown Shyness.

"This rata #forest is the most stunning example of #crownshyness I have ever seen... It’s found on Enderby Island, one of the most remote places on the planet."
This phenomenon occurs when trees’ crowns don't touch, forming a distinct pattern among their canopies.

I love the rectangular shapes in the trees along Great Western Road in Glasgow, like the one in the foreground of this photo, which neatly match the profile of the local double-decker buses.

I was lucky to visit the Sunken Forest on Fire Island with dendrologist Nikki Davi. A lovely example of #CrownShyness, where trees avoid touching each other, creating gaps in the canopy, allowing trees maximum access to sunlight. Holly, Sassafras,, Maple, Blackgum, Serviceberry 🌿

SciArt September-Day 2: Canopy (Lands prompt.) This made me think of trees and the phenomenon of crown shyness. Some trees will allow a gap around their crown, keeping it from touching nearby trees. This may be to allow light through to the forest floor. 🌳🐡#sciartseptember2025 #canopy #crownshyness

In this case, the trees infer the regular movement of the passing buses as an indication that they're getting too close to a neighbouring tree and, as a result, restrict their growth it that direction.

You might think they're created by the buses physically damaging the trees as they pass, but I suspect they're actually created by crown shyness, where trees naturally limit their growth so as not the clash with the branches of neighbouring trees.

Crown shyness is a feature observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other.

🌳✨ Les arbres timides existent
Le phénomène de timidité des ciîmes intrigue les scientifiques depuis les années 1920 : les cimes des arbres s’arrêtent net… sans jamais se toucher 🍃
Par respect ? Pour mieux capter la lumière ? Le mystère reste entier.

This is the most beautiful thing you will see today. #Nature At its most wondrous. This is “crown shyness” a phenomenon where the tops of trees communicate with each other to leave gaps that form channels of air and light. www.instagram.com/reel/DFpXfUW... #GoodNews #EddysGoodNews #CrownShyness

Why some trees never touch each other in the canopy: Some trees form distinct canopy gaps called crown shyness. Wind, light, and growth responses shape these patterns.

#CrownShyness is actually a really cool thing #trees do to avoid hindering the growth of their own species. The 'channels' you see b/w the canopies prevents competition and slows the spread of diseases and insects.
