Multi-stem plants and trees

Since natural forms have become increasingly popular, the demand for multi-stemmed trees is also increasing. A multi-stem plant is one that has been pruned during cultivation at a young age in such a way that several stems or trunks were formed directly on the ground. They usually have a vase-shaped crown structure: slightly narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. This makes them look particularly filigree and elegant

With the same trunk circumference, multi-stemmed trees have a larger leaf mass than classical trees. This element provides a higher biomass, meaning that multi-stem trees have a higher ecological value and provide more shade and moisture.

Multi-stemmed trees have a loose, translucent structure and are suitable for garden spaces that retain their open, natural character and should immediately diffuse more of a “green flair”. Many planners and garden architects find the shape of multi-stemmed trees very attractive due to their more open, idiosyncratic shape and like to use them as characteristic elements in larger public projects.

A multi-stemmed tree combines the characteristics of a shrub with those of a tree. With the tree as a starting point, the characteristics of a shrub are shaped into it to certain extent through targeted training, but only “to a certain extent” since some differences remain. A multi-stemmed tree branches directly above the ground, the trunks are clearly distinguishable and the branching on these trunks is higher than in shrubs. Moreover, a multi-stemmed tree grows higher than a shrub.

Multi-stemmed plants can also handle climate change

Trees are the only natural air conditioners

Trees cool the air, provide moisture and shade. This is an existential issue for the cities.

But in many cases, more trees are being cut down in urban areas than are replanted. In reality, it could be so simple, because there are enough woody species and varieties that thrive in the complex climatic conditions of the city and that could be the solution to the problem! We call these “urban trees of the future” or “climate trees”.

And if no “classic tree” fits the bill (or is desired), then a multi-stemmed climate tree is the answer. And this is by no means merely a simple equation – it is also measurable and tangible…for everyone!
