Necessity being the mother of invention, this led to the creation of an ingenious solution: daisugi, the growing of additional trees, in effect, out of existing trees

      Even if it wasn’t, how does that make the trees perfectly straight? Are they not subject to wind and sun like the trees below them?

        It’s usually trees that are good at growing straight like birch but as they’re growing when they’re young they’re bifurcated a bunch and pulled down to the ground. The main trunk is usually under 15’ so it’s fair safe to stand on to chop down the trees that sprout via epicormic growth.
