Seen near St Georgios, Cyprus. There can be strong winds coming from the north over the sea just metres from here. Years of battling the winds can cause strange shapes in some trees. To me a photographic oddity. This is almost certainly a Juniper which are coniferous plants in the genus Juniperus of the cypress family Cupressaceae.

ps Treebeard is -a famous tree in the Tolkein Lord of the Rings novel. So maybe this tree is in reality an 'Ent' :)
