Tree shaping

Tree shaping is when you use tools like wires and chains to manipulate a tree into a shape or form that you like. It is a form of art because it involves using tools and techniques to make something that looks nice. Tree shaping can also be used to create useful things like animal habitats and obstacle courses. To shape a tree you first need to know what type of tree it is and what it needs to look like. Then you wrap the tree in wire to create the shape that you want. Once the shape is there, you can then use chains, ropes, and other tools to secure the shape so that it stays. You might need to use tools like clippers to trim and shape the branches to create the shape or form you want.
