My Princeton Elm is about 25+ feet now. It's really growing.
About 6 feet up from the ground I have a major fork in the trunk. I see that this tree is really going to be one of the split trunk (two trees in one sort of tree :msp_biggrin: )
Would you guys cut where I lined in red? This would take a major part of the canopy away, which is why I am hesitant. I'm not sure if I should just let it be or try to get it a bit taller before the splitting. Clearly this tree likes to split its branches (split may be the wrong word but i think you know what i mean) but I wonder if splitting too low isn't desirable).
Thoughts?
