We report on the existence of tilted arrays of dendrites in solidification. It arises from a long-wavelength instability of the infinite array. The connection to the parity-broken dendrites recently discovered is pointed out. We show that the array is stable to short distance fluctuations explaining the existence of a stable envelope for solidification patterns.
