Daisugi

Daisugi (台杉) is a Japanese technique related to pollarding, used on Cryptomeria (sugi) trees. The term roughly translates to "platform cedar".

When applied in a silviculture context, the daisugi method requires trunks to be pruned every 2-4 years in order to maintain the straight, clear grain that they are coveted for.
