In a coppiced wood, young tree stems are repeatedly cut down to near ground level, resulting in a stool. New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced tree is harvested, and the cycle begins anew.

Air pruning happens naturally when roots are exposed to air in the absence of high humidity. The roots are effectively 'burned' off, causing the plant to constantly produce new and healthy branching roots. If roots are not exposed to air, they continue to grow around the con…
