I have this old guy growing on a street corner in my neightbourhood. What do you suspect aided in the tree growing like this? Most of its mass is in its massive squat trunk.
Agressive pruning? Coppicing? Disease?
An internet search of: "Fat tree trunk" is giving me many different results.

That tree is scared of heights.
200-300+ years will do it. Also a lot of pruning over the last couple hundred years.
9 year old me would kill for that tree
