Finally, an actual explanation

[@solarpunkstation]

Yes! Been trying to figure out how it's actually done. All I've seen are pictures of the technique before.

[@AlixL96]

cool! it sounds similar to the old Medieval practices of coppicing and pollarding.

[@oldwaysrisingfarm]

Thank you for showing this technique in such detail!

[@ebaz15]

Thanks for that easly rich explanation.
IF that Daisugi technically can be happening with other kind of trees
Kind like Paulownia tree

[@Cyber-Shaman]

Hello where can I find more information on the Daisugi technique? Will it work for norway maple, silver birch, various pines, spruce and juniper? - Kind regards from Northern EU :)

[@adri1leusha]

Same here! I'd love to try this technique! I wonder if you could do this on oak trees, it's worth a try!

Www.google.com

Think this... if the species are able for do coppicing then you can make daisugi with them

[@Thyrio]

Thanks a lot... i been looking for this information for almost 3 years and its so nice to finally found it thanks to you... I been working on the cold mountains of Mexico where I have my home and property and I been trying to replicate this technique on my oak trees (and some pine trees and fraxinus) with interesting results but with your method everything will be better now. Thanks a lot again 🎉❤

How large would you let the base of the tree grow if you wanted to use this method for growing lumber?

[@Balance-nature]

Can it would be possible with pinus roxbergii?

[@joebobjenkins7837]

What time of year do you make the first big cut?

[@f.demascio1857]

Spring.

[@RolandObermeier]

Awesome! Researching on this for years and just decided to make it my next project. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ndr3s-v-t158]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Nice diagrams.
Do you know if this can be done with other type of conifer or just in general other kind of trees?

[@swinkeymo]

Looks like a great way to grow transplants as well.

[@raphlvlogs271]

conifers cannot be coppiced but they can still be pollarded sustainably

[@prometheus1592]

thank you so much, i couldnt find any explanation until yours

[@gigolojay2420]

Omg thank you so much for your extremely valuable, very detailed and eaisly understandable video for a question that i scoured through numerous videos for what seemed like endless hours of information that i was not looking for. I am 100% sure youre goal was not to make Jay's day but i can assure you that i am elated that i finally found your video. I actually created a new save folder just for informational material (not just for botany) that i plan to use in the future that was inspired by this video. You may think i sound overly gracious for a video you may have thought was no big deal but i would bet my last dollar that when i read the comments there will be others who have looked at many videos orior to this and are happy to have found this one. Maybe not a his happy, but happy nonetheless. Thank you again.

[@gigolojay2420]

As I suspected and I predict more positive comments from weary and relieved people who didn't want to know how much wood they have. One more time, thank you so very much.

[@detectiverigby3949]

Can you do daisugi with other trees and not cedar trees?

[@Thyrio]

If you can do coppicing with them probably you can do daisugi

[@nuwankalanamith8670]

Wow...
Thank you for sharing.

[@JanDahl]

Interesting!

[@paganlord5667]

Thank you

[@eduardoangel3152]

Can it be planted in any soil or climate?

[@Thyrio]

Mountain mostly

[@rohith412]

Thank you for a crisp and clear explanation

[@billybob8836]

It's impossible

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

Excellent technique! 🏝
Are you sure that the pruning needs to be done in spring rather than in winter or fall as normal?
Also, can you get this tree, Japanese red wood, in the UK?
