At one time the tree had a circle of aerial roots that formed from all the little bumps circling the trunk and plunged into the soil. I decided that this was a logical area I wanted to layer the tree. I made a mark all the way around the circumference of the tree at this point, and a second mark below it to identify the section that I will remove.
I decided that I should move the lower mark a little further down the trunk to enlarge the cut area just to sure that the areas remain separate. In this way the trunk will have no choice but to send out roots rather than bridge the gap:
