'Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees' :
In 14th Century CE, 'Daisugi' technique was born in Japan. Daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees.
By applying this technique to cedars, wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.

This ancient yew suffered severe storm damage several years ago & is undergoing careful remedial works to ensure it survives. The crown has been delicately pruned to reduce the pressure on the weak trunk & props may be added to reduce the risk of further failures. https://t.co/Wy09SUdW7r
El Bowthorpe Oak en Lincolnshire, Inglaterra, es un roble antiguo de más de 1,000 años. Su hueco interior, resultado del proceso natural de pudrición, lo hace especial. Un símbolo de resistencia y conexión histórica. Un destino imperdible para los amantes de la naturaleza. #BowthorpeOak 🌳🍃
Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) trees are the ecological workhorse of the British countryside, providing flowers and nectar in spring, and berries for birds and small mammals throughout the winter, often doing this against all the odds in the toughest of conditions.

Klimbossen zijn super gaaf!! Lekker spelen in de natuur met de kids. Wel mag het soms nog net wat boomvriendelijker. Spanbanden zijn niet zo geschikt voor bevestiging. Ook wordt vaak de groeiplaats niet goed beschermd.

@keeper_of_books Always look up into the #trees. This is a Douglas Fir Pseudotsuga menziesii growing out of a rock bluff on the Sea to Sky Highway, BC, Canada a couple days ago 💚
Measurements are in for today: I shrunk 0.001 mm and transported 860.29 l of water! That is 139 l or 19% more than yesterday. No more growth today, my diameter is starting to shrink.
