forest , field and sky .. art out of nature

[devon TWiG]

Saw this program the other evening and really enjoyed most of it , but with particular reference to David Nash's ...Ash dome .at about 8.00 minutes in to the film it appears he has cut deep dip like sections in to the trunks of young saplings to allow them to be bent and seemingly grafting to themselves and carrying on to live / survive as crooked stems has any one ever seen this done ? or even heard of / seen it before ? although it has no real practical use the biology intrigues me !!!BBC iPlayer - Forest, Field & Sky: Art out of Nature

I planted some ash trees 20yr ago in a school around an alphabet story telling circle I`d made, and tied them into a dome, but havnt been back for yrs ,having seen that great program ,think I`ll make a visit,,,
