What would be more accurate is to shorten it consideraby and form a hollowed out secondary trunk. The texture should not be that of a wind blasted juniper ; it should be rough and grooved- more like a termite ridden hollowed trunk of a lowland tree. The interior would be darker- not jinned out white.

I've tried to show what I mean in the attached jpg.
