It's just gravity. A living tree branch is flexible like a fishing pole, and when weight is applied such as in new branches and leaves the weight of it pulls it down toward the ground. Enough time like that and the tree compensates by strengthening the upper part of the joint making it somewhat permanent. If you trim away some of the end weight the branch will raise back up some
