System and method for forming trees into predetermined letter and word configurations
A system for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations having a wire assembly with a guide wire having a predetermined configuration; and a trunk of a predetermined thickness, whereby the trunk is secured to the guide wire, wherein the trunk adopts the configuration of the guide wire as it grows, thickens, and matures. The guide wire is a single continuous wire and is of a predetermined gauge to be shaped into said predetermined configuration. The configuration is a letter, letters, a word, words, a number, numbers, and/or a geometric shape, shapes. The trunk is secured to said guide wire with zip ties that are positioned separated a predetermined distance from each other allowing the trunk to align with the guide wire to adopt to the predetermined configuration.
1 . A system for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations, consisting of:
A) a single continuous guide wire having a predetermined gauge shaped into said predetermined configuration(s);
B) a continuous trunk of a predetermined thickness, whereby said continuous trunk is secured to said guide wire, wherein said continuous trunk adopts said configuration of said guide wire as it grows, thickens, and matures, wherein said continuous trunk is of a live tree, plant, or vine planted in a pot and protruding therefrom, wherein said configuration is a single continuous letter, letters, word, words, number, numbers, and/or geometric shape, shapes, said continuous trunk is secured to said guide wire with at least one zip tie allowing said continuous trunk to align with said guide wire to adopt to said predetermined configuration, wherein said continuous trunk is of a first diameter that is approximately the same as a second diameter of said single continuous guide wire; and
C) a support stick or rod to support said guide wire, said support stick or rod also protrudes from said pot and is positioned adjacent to said continuous trunk.
2 . The system for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations set forth in claim 1 , wherein said configuration is a horizontal orientation.
3 . The system for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations set forth in claim 1 , wherein said configuration is a vertical orientation.
4 . A method for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations consisting of the steps:
A) shaping a single continuous guide wire having a predetermined gauge into said predetermined configuration(s);
B) positioning a zip tie onto a continuous trunk of a predetermined thickness of a tree, plant, or vine planted in a pot and protruding therefrom, to align with said guide wire to adopt to said predetermined configuration, wherein said continuous trunk is of a first diameter that is approximately the same as a second diameter of said single continuous guide wire;
C) securing said continuous trunk of said tree, plant, or vine to said guide wire with said zip tie;
D) allowing said continuous trunk of said tree, plant, or vine to grow, thicken, and mature while adopting said predetermined configuration of said single continuous guide wire, wherein said predetermined configuration is a single continuous letter, letters, word, words, number, numbers, and/or geometric shape, shapes; and
E) supporting said guide wire with a support stick or rod, wherein said support stick or rod also protrudes from said pot and is positioned adjacent to said single continuous trunk.
5 . The method for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations set forth in claim 4 , wherein said continuous trunk is of a live tree, plant, or vine.
6 . The method for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations set forth in claim 5 , wherein said configuration is a horizontal orientation.
7 . The method for forming trunks of trees, plants, and vines into predetermined letter, word, numerical, and shape configurations set forth in claim 5 , wherein said configuration is a vertical orientation.
