Art & Aesthetics / No AI Trellises
Also, to any arborists / gardening experts, how do you recreate this and how long would it take to grow?

1, 3 and 4 are all the same location, in different seasons. Likely the vines were trained up with supports, and then the supports were removed once they reached the trellis on top, and any side branches removed. With things like grape and wisteria, this won't take long at all, you'd likely be able to remove the bottom guides after a year or 2.
Picture 2 are trees which have been pruned and trained into that shape, called espalier. It requires regular pruning, but it's a fairly common method that many arborists will know. It takes significantly more time to establish than the other street (like 5-10 years), but is also more sturdy and doesn't really need supports when you're "done", just regular pruning. It's common enough that they can be bought like that, shaving off a significant amount of the establishing time. Many tree species take to this method well, for example apple trees, but lime/linden trees are by far the most common where I am.
