Starting a specific thread to document this tree. I've posted it in other combination posts- please ignore. This tree has survived two years post collection, so I feel comfortable with logging ongoing styling. This thread will serve as an ongoing journal, as well as for input.

I collected this monster ash after it had been ripped from the ground by a falling tree. Unfortunately, it hasn't thrown any lower shoots. I'm conflicted with letting that leader grow a ton or another chop. Either way, it's an ash- this is never going to be a great piece, but I'm going to see what I can do with a winter showing.

Update:

Starting to bud back a bit further, hoping to have good growth and develop this out in the next 10 years or so.

You have a good start toward your goal. That branch cut back you did woke up the tree's survival interest.
