Nice Formal Upright Oak

I took this picture of this Burr Oak that I admire everytime I pass it in my car.

I always thought it was a nice example of a formal upright style. It's Quercus macrocarpa.

I know the branches aren't horizontal but that's how it grows.

It's about 50' or 60' tall.

Only thing is, it seems to be growing in the "PineTree Style", much berated for deciduous trees; unnatural for them, you see! Shouldn't somebody have explained this to your oak when it was a seedling so that it could have adopted a more natural and appropriate style before it was too late?! Fred
