Skeptical[edit]

I'm a little skeptical. Four references. None proven reliable? All from the same original source.

It could be that one guy photoshopped stuff in 2020, and a few gullible sources picked it up without verifying. Has any actual journalism picked it up? McKay (talk) 14:43, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not a hoax. Many thanks to Kevmin who found references to RSes. WP:HEY. — hike395 (talk) 02:39, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The references, as far as I can follow, give no support to the text. They are just plausible place-holders. Adifferentgame (talk) 23:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are photos and articles all over the internet of this technique. Just because it looks fantastical doesn't mean it is fake. One could easily argue the same about bonsai, except the tradition is much more widespread. Here are two (of many) links. First, a serious gardening site discussing the technique: [1]https://haltonmastergardeners.com/2020/08/09/daisugi-or-coppicing/ Second, a Japanese culture site also discussing the technique: [2]https://sabukaru.online/articles/daisugi-technique-over-a-thousand-year-pruning-history Wiki88ikiw (talk) 15:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Coppice vs Pollard[edit]

I changed the description to say it is similar to European pollarding, from coppicing. Coppicing consists of cutting close to the ground,producing a lot of small branches, while in pollarding trees are cut further off the ground and has been historically used to create firewood and small logs.
