Tree Architecture




Through the art of horticulture techniques called pleaching Architect Mitchell Joachim proposes to grow homes weaved together by tree branches.

Swedish American farmer Axel Erlandson opened a horticulture attraction called the "Tree Circus" in 1947 outside Santa Cruz, CA. The tree circus displayed trees that he taught himself to shape using pruning, grafting, and bending into amazing geometric designs. The trees have since been moved to Gilroy Gardens to preserve them for future enjoyment by visitors.
