Sapling
Just like this tree it was in the ground for 3 years to thicken and encourage lateral roots.
Dug up 2011, chopped and planted in a tyre.
I can t find a photo, but it grew wild for a few years before I chopped it just above the thicker branch, right at the bottom and bent the branch up. There is quite a variation between my different trees, all Celtis from the same batch. This one put on bulk faster than the others and became quite thick.
Dug it up Sept 2018, chopped it above a thicker lower branch.
Chopped the roots short and it's in a plastic tub.
I sort of have the idea of doing something totally different and not growing any branches on the trunk, but developing the whole tree in a broom like manner from the top.
Its very fat and squat, not my favourite look.
Do you think that could work?
