I have a topless tree at the moment. I'm not sure what species it is, possibly some kind of elm. I got it at a club auction last fall. This spring I started styling it. It was too tall, so I pruned it back and wired up a smaller branch to form a new apex. Unfortunatley I wasn't careful enough and I broke the branch. I tried to wire the break together but it didn't heal and the new top died. Annoying, but not fatal. I just removed it and selected a new branch to wire up . . . and broke that one, too. And of course the repair job failed again.
The rest of the tree looks pretty good, though. It just has no top at the moment.
