MIT Researchers Could Soon Grow Wood carvings in a Lab Setting

Similar to lab-grown meat in principle, researchers work on growing plant matter into desired shapes with scaffolding.

Could this Welcome bear by Stan Adams be grown in his garden?

…The researchers further report that the cells for creating wood objects would be extracted from the leaves of a zinnia plant and would not require any soil or sunlight to develop. These cells could even be coaxed in a lab to grow into specific shapes like a chair.
