Definitely NOT Bonsai. True Bonsai strives to mimic nature in miniature. That monstrosity would probably be considered "topiary".

Can't remember the name of the tree, but in the 70s when we lived in Ill we had a tree planted that let us weave the branches back and forth like that simply by which way we bent and anchor the limbs. As I remember, took about three or four months to set the branches and then bend and anchor a different way.
