Name a tree

17 years ago

A few years back we purchased what I would call a type of ornamental pine tree from a nursery in Des Plaines Mo. The tree has a trunk that curves back and forth as it grows upwards,like a snake, my problem is that I'm not sure what the common name of this tree is If knew I've forgotten can anyone help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Thank You

I'm assuming this was a staked tree. In which case it could be one of many prostrate forms I am thinking are out there. Someone should be able to suggest a few of the most commercially prevalent.
