In this basic test, we see the tree in relation to a driveway over which it is being arched. The upper boughs of the tree will be brought to ground level, where they will be encouraged to produce roots before they are placed beneath the soil. The tree is ~12 inches at it's base, and the curvature seen here occurred during half of a growing season in which little extra water was supplied. This shows that sculpting is possible in a wide range of climatic conditions.
