Hello - My wife and have been living in her grandparents old apartment and they left behind this awesome tree they had in their living room for decades, at least 30 years, maybe even 40(?).
I think it has seen better days, as we we haven't really known how to best care for it. Now we're moving and we'd like to bring the tree with us. One problem, we live in an elevator building and won't be able to get it out in it's current form. So here's my questions I hope some of you could help me answer:
#1 What kind of tree is this?
#2 How much and how should we, or could, we trim the branches to get it out the door and in a regular sized elevator?
#3 If we can't move it, would it be easy to root cuttings from this tree?
#4 What's the largest I can make a cutting and still be able to grow a root?
Thanks a million for any help you can provide, we love this tree, and it means a lot to my wife if we can save it and bring it with us, even if it means we have to take a small part of it and regrow it.
Some pictures of it attached.
