In this practice, upper branches are cut back to a main trunk, creating a distinctive knotted form. This keeps the trees at a manageable height while encouraging new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling and Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vase works well as a centerpiece on a table, sideboard, or desk.
