Treeshaping dilemma

Planting and shaping trees into structures such as archways, rooms, houses, tunnels, gazebos. There are two methods within this style. Using the trees by themselves to form the structures, or using trees and inclusions form the structures.

Treeshaping dilemma

Postby cycomerlin14 on Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:57 am

Hey there!

I am designing a willow home to be grown from a ring of 11 willows and I have reached a bit of a dilemma. I am trying to figure out how to shape the second floor. At this point as it's drawn out it looks like a wheel with spokes, but I'm wondering how to shape the branches together so that they create a relatively even surface for the floor. I feel like there is a really elegant solution to this. I can supply some conceptual drawings if it helps.

Thanks.

Hi Aaron and Welcome.
Yes please post your drawing up. Are you using willow (Salix)? If so is the area where you are growing the willow very wet area?
