all mine are growing straight. I have toyed with the idea of planting a couple 25 gal trachycarpus latisectus sideways to make them curve away from each other.

This one at a friend of mine's house in Knoxville had bent over after a storm sometime in 2008 or 2009 I think.

He never bothered with it, so it now has a big crook in the trunk. This was after the rough winter of 2013-2014.
