Basket Tree (found in the United States) Axel Erlandson was a horticulturist who would shape trees in unusual forms. He started shaping trees after observing the natural process of bonding known as inosculation. He used a combination of bending and grafting to guide tree trunks into geometric forms. To create the basket tree, Erland planted 6 sycamore trees in one circle and then topped all of them at one foot and then approach-grafted together one to another to create diamond patterns. This tree is now a centerpiece of Gilory Gardens. Each of these trees is so beautiful as well as bizarre. Also, they’re so different that leaves us smitten and only makes us praise the work of Mother Nature all the more. If you ever get a chance to visit these places, do get a glimpse of these trees and enjoy witnessing the splendid work of nature.
