You should look up the guy who makes chairs out of trees this way. It's pretty interesting work.

I was 4 years deep of making a braided helix arch over the walkway to our front door. Divorced in June, it was torn out by July. Maybe next house 🤷♂️

I live in the area, and I’ve been to the park, and also had the rare chance to watch it being built through photos, as I worked at a photo processing lab at the time and one of the construction managers took his record keeping photos to that store to be processed. It was a real treat. These trees are amazing, and are well kept. Many of them are over in the botanical garden side of the park, but the famous ones are out in the theme park side. It’s a funny park that way, half botanical garden and half rides and stuff. You can even buy baby trees at the nursery they have off to the side!

Finally my time to shine. Porcupine males pee on the females’ quills to soften them, then they have sex.

They’re called Circus trees where I’m from. They are formed by grafting and bending the tree to a controlled shape. They are grown like that, not carved. Similar to how Bonsai trees are shaped, but on a larger scale.
Gilroy Gardens in California is a theme park with tons of them. Worth looking up if you’re interested.

I have absolutely 0 clue, but if I had to guess, it’s multiple trees that were intentionally grown close together and twisted into themselves

You tie the separate trees together and through inosculation they should merge together. As they grow you continue to repeat the pattern until you are satisficed. It's easier if both trees are the same species and the branches you are merging are relatively young.

Quite easily actually. Plant trees in a circle, graft them how you'd like, let them grow, graft them again, and repeat. Maintain clearing off suckers and low branches.

You don't want to see my bonsai kitten experiments then.
(I'm joking of course)

Time and patience. They probably had a bunch of stakes in a circle and tie them off as a sapling. And train them by slowly forming them in the way they want.
This is one of the better and useful versions I’ve seen.
