Arborsculpture is the art of growing and shaping the branches of trees (and other woody plants) into shapes never intended in the wild or even in the garden.
A combination of pruning, grafting and bending, it is used to make living plants into something either useful or ornamental. The results can be quite stunning.

Arborsculpture relates to Richard Reames's method of shaping trees.
At Wikipedia there was a consensus that a neutral name was needed for the artform, and Tree shaping was decided upon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping
