Tree Shaping ~ A Unique Art Form
Here is some information and pics of a very unique and fascinating art form.
TREE SHAPING
Unique tree stems. Amazing!
Peter and Becky of Australia, have mastered the art of Tree Shaping.
Pooktre, as they have called it, has perfected a gradual shaping method, which
is the shaping of trees as they grow along predetermined designs.
Designing and setting up the supporting framework are fundamental to the
success of the tree. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor
furniture and others will remain 'living art.'

Re: Tree Shaping ~ A Unique Art Form
Thank you all for your replies.
snakeyes, I wondered about that, too. Some of the branches and other parts of the designs look too evenly spaced to be
growing there natural. They must be able to graft branches from other trees into the trunk and they take hold and grow. 
I've printed all the information from the email, so your guess is as good as mine.

Re: Tree Shaping ~ A Unique Art Form
baspinall you're welcome.
bigscoop well, There are dates on them when they were planted , but, it doesn't say how tall they are when they
are planted. It looks like about 10 -15 years to form them and there must be other branches or trees grafted on
them in order to get all the different shapes just where they want them. I have no other information than what
I have shown.
Thanks for your interest in them.
