"Training small citrus plants was key to extending their cultivation across all regions of the Black Sea coast, where until then it had been impossible. This was achieved by pruning and guiding citrus plants into a creeping form, which reduced their height to a mere 25 cm."

People complain about cubicle farms, but there's so much we can do to train workers to be productive in them, if we start them young enough.




Finally an industrial application of bonsaikittens.

Do IT workers really need legs?


Of course not, if you can automate feeding. Sadly the current armless interfaces are not efficient enough, otherwise there is a big potential there as well. But the bonsai approach if applied young enough, should give efficiency boosts, too.


Y'all need to watch Sorry To Bother You. No spoilers.


We should notice than a 25cm height Citrus is not necessarily a 25cm wide Citrus. Could extend for a few meters. In the end is the opposite to a cubicle. Creeping plants are space hogs.
