This year's Noelanders Trophy was a great event and the three demonstrations were of outstanding quality. The demonstrators of this year are Taiga Urushibata, Koji Hiramatsu and Mauro Stemberger. We filmed the demonstrations and in this article you will find the three finished videos. Enjoy watching!

The first day is spend completely on cleaning the tree and doing extensive work on the deadwood (carving mostly). On the second day work starts on pruning branches, wiring and styling the entire tree.
