Joanie,
I wonder if you are thinking of pollarding, which is different to pleaching.
Pleaching is where the trees are planted in rows and the branches trained
horizontally to create a *wall* of foliage when in leaf. Pollarding is
when the tree branches are cut back to 1 - 2 inches to the main stem,
resulting in a mass of shoots developing from the top of the cut stem.
The above comes from reference books - not my head :-). I cannot find
anything that sounds like coppicing, but hope that helps.

Thanks, Valerie...it's making more sense now. But, what's the training
method of trees or shrubs called that sounds like coppicing and is similar
to
pleaching?
