Chinese Elm Pot Suggestions Etc
I would like help and suggestions for this large-ish Chinese Elm.
The main thing I'm after is pot suggestions. But also,
1. There is a couple of nasty chopped roots at the current front, I would like to be able to lower the tree into the new pot to minimise this problem. I hope I can do it in one go, but if not... so be it. In peoples experience, how much can be removed from the bottom of the rootball and still be safe? 20%? 30%?
2. The lowest bow branch on the left I'm not sure about. If it goes, a big chunk of foliage goes with it. If it stays, it looks kind of odd. What to do?
3. The canopy outline is pretty rough in the pic, I have since tidied it up. But, any help and suggestions on how to improve the overall outline is most welcome.
The first pic is pooking slightly upward...
