A Scots Pine bushtree?

Long story shortened - I now have another water "container" (Butt it no longer leaks).
;¬)
I needn't dwell on why I haven't a stand, it's under the other butt.

Before I discovered a new stand would only set me back about £17 I'd put out a plea on Freegle for "dead" breeze blocks to use as a stand.

Today I went up to Whale and Knipe area to collect another (last) one.
This strange bush/tree was in the garden, we had a chat about it and it looks as though it sustained damage about 5-7 unmeasured feet up from base and none of the branches managed to gain dominance as replacement trunk and they've been battling for supremacy ever since.
