Old garden virburnum

[CWTurner]

Three are some viburnum on my property that were old when I got here 30 years ago. I've had my eye on one that seemed worth collecting, so last week I dug it and spotted it up. Looks sort of ficus'y, don't it?


@BobbyLane will like this side.

They get lots of white flowers around Mothers Day
I collected another 2 summers ago and killed it. Probably my sloppy care.

Looks like an elephant

Nice material! I suggest that you remove the larger trunk entirely and let the smaller curving trunk be the new top of the tree.

Yes, I don't intend to keep that straight part. I was undecided between cutting it off now, vs. having more leaves to grow roots quicker. Probably won't cut it now because I don't want to disturb the roots. I'll see how it grows for me.
Thanks.

If you dug that tree up less than a week ago, I would remove the long straight trunk now, rather than later.

Nice stump, I like it.

I say go for the elephant look!

try to get some sprouts off the top of the trunk.
