It should be added here as well: In the case of a witch's broom being cultivated as a cultivar it must be decided whether or not the characteristic the grower is trying to cultivate has the growth characteristics that will make it attractive to those who will purchase the tree. Just because it is odd and unusual does not preclude the fact that it must also be saleable. The TooLittle Ficus is a very saleable item. The Bouverinsis cultivar of Scots Pine is very saleable, the Shishigashira, or Koto Hime cultivars of Japanese Maple are very saleable. The question here; is the two leaved Zelkova saleable? I don't know.
