Take a look at the MakeTree macro - it allows the tree to be "pushed" and 
"pulled" by a gravity vector. It looks like what you want is a severly 
compressed quadratic (1/200x^2), let x run bewteen one end, to zero, then 
to the other end. The equation will then produce the right y coordinate. 
You could get fancy, define a zero point and all too (+ a second 
compression ratio for the other end ;)) (that would be useful in 
animations, a rippling whip or rope).

Anyway, enough of this :)

Looks great!
