Niwaki book
Niwaki
In Japan, trees have long been of spiritual and socio-cultural importance. Fittingly, Japanese gardeners have fine-tuned a distinctive set of pruning techniques meant to coax out the essential characters of their garden trees - 'niwaki' in Japanese. Jake Hobson, who honed the techniques in an Osaka nursery before adapting them in West Sussex, England, encourages the reader to venture beyond familiar tree pruning methods to cultivate their very own niwaki.
