Roz Tampone with a corkbark Elm. This tree needs some taper. The trunk is quite large, but is fat till the last couple of inches. Ted says that on his next trip, they might take a chainsaw to the trunk. They will induce a shari, on one side to make the tree seem as to have been a in a storm or smashed by a boulder or something. When the material has reached this stage, very large and not easy to deal with, they call for drastic measures to make the tree asthetically pleasing.
