There have been some serious issues with this tree for a while. However it wasn’t until a tree critique held at our local club did I finally pay attention. First was this long surface root.
With a grinder I reduced the root to a better size that did not distract from the look of the trunk.
Second with the lack of a rounded taper from where the tree was cut over 6 years ago
The grinder was used again to give a more tapered look to the trunk from the initial cuts were made.
Lastly, the trunk was repotted in a more upright position. As you can see the top of this tree is not centered. This is not a problem, because the whole top of this tree is coming off soon in order to restyle the tree. There is no such thing as a finished tree. Jan 2008
