With the right trees, advance planning, and a little time, plastic playgrounds baking in the hot sun may be replaced with unusual shaped trees for the kids. Or a bus stop may have a tree with long roots for you to sit on. Plantware is a company that wants to make it happen using Tree shaping. It’s been done by Axel Erlandson in the ‘40’s, and Plantware wants it to expand.
