I love this idea. It flies in the face of permaculture and any naturalist approach to growing trees. But, for me is allows for joyous creativity. I doubt the tree cares that is shaped – any more than the arbitrary forces of wind, rocks and other elements that shape a tree’s growing pattern.
Say what you will about the sins of anthropomorphizing nature,
I have always been drawn to the caricature of the human form. This is especially true of the androgynous form. I rationalize by saying it just shows we are all related.
Arborsmith Studios has this video showing a whole history of tree shaping.
