I recently purchased this little Celtis Sinensis Literati from a guy who was reducing his stock.
I fell in love with it as I can see loads of potential in this tree and if looked after properly over the next few years, it could really become a great tree.
There are a few things that are wrong with it like some bad scars from wire left on too long but I am hoping in the next few years those will become less visible.
The biggest concern is one branch that I personally feel needs to be removed. I want to see if others agree with me on this.
Firstly the branch has created quite a bulge on the trunk. By removing it, I will be able to start working on reducing the bulge and maybe create a jin from the branch. Secondly I believe the overall image of the tree and view from the front will be greatly improved.
So lets hear your thoughts. Have a look at the next few pics and let me know if you agree with my thoughts. I think the branch should go.
The bulge on the trunk is clearly visible from the back
This is the front view with the branch that I would like to remove.
This is the view with the branch covered up. I personally believe it is much better without the branch.
