Man vs. Nature

There's an interesting example of man vs nature a few steps from my house. I've observed it for a number of years.

When I first noticed this tree that grew within the wire fence, I was too late to save it. However this also allowed an opportunity to observe what will happen.

So far, both have become deformed due to this "struggle for survival" between them. Which one will prevail, I have no idea at the moment.
