       The Japanese Have Been Producing Wood For 700 Years Without Cutting Down TreesThe Japanese Have Been Producing Wood For 700 Years Without Cutting Down TreesIn the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees.

       @Kashalot It would be interesting to know if this approach is actually used at scale anywhere. I have seen the photo and the claim many times on social media, but never seen anything but regular logging when travelling in Japan.

       @Kashalot it's a platform business model!

       @Kashalot Same has been done in Germany (see Kopfbuchen, Ramholzwirtschaft). Trees are being cut above the height where grazing animals can reach. New branches are growing straight upwards and will be cut about every 10-15 years. The cuts were used either for firewood or as support poles in vinyards.https://www.geo.de/natur/naturwunder-erde/kopfbuchen_30129298-30166698.html

       @Kashalot For many years Yew trees were harvested like that in England. It seems that since the Middle Ages we have lost as much as we have gained.

       @Kashalot it is also called pollarding- very common in #Nepal for hundreds of years as well. People cut the limbs, leave the trunk and enough greenery to produce new food. Wood is stacked on flat rooftops to show wise use and social status. #Romans also did this back to the 1st century BCE.

       @Kashalot: I do not understand how they get it to produce good wood.  Usually "Water Shoots" like that grow too fast and are weak but if they have been doing it for a while then it must work somehow.
