    Ideas on what to do with ugly trunk

    Zach When you say "chop" do you mean ground layer? Or completely chop and re-pot? If I do that it may not make it I would think..... and I have a history with this tree now.

    My Brazilian rain tree

    I'm going to hijack this thread with a question regarding a hard prune for overwintering. With all due respects.... I have two BRTs, one the mom and one an air layer from said mom.
