Abstract

There were four marking criteria and five major indicators of Thai bent trees. The indicators involved in the balance, rhythm, completeness and beauty and criteria consisted of number of bouquets, number of levels, the horizontal plane in each level, the rhythmic positioning of the bouquet in each level and the meaning or uniqueness. Moreover, the growth rate was measured from the development of the trunk’s diameter, mother of cocoa after bent in nine different patterns.  “Mai Khabuan” showed the highest growth rate compared to others; both growth rate of stem and main branch with 6.23% and 85.53% compared to week 0. However, the most beautiful and suitable forms of Thai traditional bent tree by mother of cocoa were “Mai Hok-Hiean”, “Mai Khen” and “Mai Chark” respectively
