Stupid or floppy Scotch Pine

Take a look at this stupid tree. It has the worst posture of any tree. The branches are all floppy! I have 5 other trees like it, same age, but they stand nice and tall with great posture?

If you can see in the pics, it the upper branches are floppy.

What can I do? The tree has no disease.

Either cut it off just where the main stem starts to go wild or do the same only at ground level.:D :D

Doc Bob,
i find myself coming back to this topic again taking a look at the pictures of that pine tree. It is so unusual I really think you should send those pictures into a few people, you local extension perhaps. It is just a very wierd tree. You might have something very rare that tree people would be interest ing. This Professor might be interested in your tree. please read this article
