No. There are a couple on the trunk that seem to point upwards and they will come off for sure. This will not be planted as a forest tree. If I do would have to reduce in height the whole forest I have now because this tree is a little shorter than the largest tree in the firest now. This trunk on this tree is much larger than the largest tree in the grove. So it would have to be cut down to compensate for the discrepancy.

I think it will make a pretty good stand alone tree in a good rustic nanban pot. Probably a pot about 15 inches across.
