Some? Rather all. This is why it is wrong to turn plants around to get a
"uniform" rounded appearance for Shows.
I don't know the English expression for this but with woody plants it is
most important to "respect the North" when transplanting or moving them to
a different spot. Meaning, they should retain the same orientation with
respect to the cardinal points.
