Jay: The one good thing about this project is the element of time. I have no need to hurry things along. At the time of the ground layer being severed, the tree turns out well, I might just keep it the way it is. If the tree still does no come up to my expectations, then I will think about taking the top off. I feel that I will do this anyway, but maybe not next year. I feel that the root base( theugly part) will not make anything very good. I will keep it though, and see what pushes out. One thing about trident's, their tough. Who know's, the best part of this whole procedure may be what comes out of that ugly root base.
