Daisugi is an ancient Japanese technique that involves pruning a mother tree to create a platform of sorts, from which new shoots are allowed to sprout. These shoots are then carefully pruned and trained to grow straight upwards.

The purpose of Daisugi was to produce high quality, straight timber (known as 'taruki') for construction without having to cut down entire trees.

This method of forestry not only saves space but also allows for faster timber production, as the shoots grow much faster than they would if they were planted separately.
