Pooktre Art
Pooktre
tree shaping is a unique Eco-Art form created, developed and perfected by Peter
Cook and Becky Northey in South East Queensland, Australia. Pooktre is a dream
made into a reality through inspiration, love of nature, tree finesse,
persistence and understanding trees and how they grow.
Also Known as Tree shaping it uses living trees and other woody plants as the medium to create structures and art.
There are a few different methods used by the various artists to shape their trees, which share a common heritage with other artistic horticultural and agricultural practices, such as pleaching, bonsai, espalier, and topiary, and employing some similar techniques. Most artists use grafting to deliberately induce the in osculation of living trunks, branches, and roots, into artistic designs or functional structures.
