It is. But you can make this with just about any seedling by wiring and gently bending it when the growth is soft. It is kind of a touchy thing to do, so it pays to have a number of seedlings or young branches to attempt it - you will likely break a few. Wire will only need to stay on for a month or two and it will be set. Then after another year you can layer it, if necessary, to put these sexy bends where you want them, relative to the roots.
Just last weekend after working on a Sergent juniper in ground and pulling weeds from around it
Tree very abrasive and dulling to chain saw. Pretty cinnamon bark holds the ivy oils too well though. Don't ask how I know...
Poison ivy oil holding bark....now that I did not know. I grew up drinking Sassafras Tea for a treat. I don’t recall ever digging the roots up around Poison Ivy plants...but I probably never really paid attention or looked that closely. I was lucky I guess. Now I look.
No poison ivy on the tree since we lived here, had left arm wrapped around the tree while swinging the push mower across the bank below
