Comment on Daisugi, the Japanese technique of growing trees out of other trees (2020)parent

Comments

Well, except for the part where it depends on a mutation.

Unless you believe that Japanese version makes trees mutate, it's still pollarding.

The japanese version depends on propogating a specific mutated variant.

Yes. It's exactly like how it works everywhere, though? You can't pollard any tree, it needs to have genetically predetermined ability to sprout from the stump.

It doesn't depend on a mutation.

“It is a little different, more like pollarding, and it doesn't work with any other conifers than saplings from one specific mutant cedar in a shrine near Kyoto.”
