They guide shoots (嫩枝) already heading in the right direction, rather than force them the wrong way against their natural growth. The average chair takes six to nine years to grow and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces means they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for 10,000 each, lamps for 900 to 2,300 and tables for 2,500 to 12,500. 4．What is special about the farm A. It uses 3D printing. B. It grows bonsai trees. C. It was set up by a couple. D.
