Re: To prune or not to prune, that is the question
Matt pretty well summed it up for you. I'll just add that in my experience with elms and sacrifice branches it's best to have them real low, down around the root buttress. They will still make the bulges that Matt spoke of but they'll tend to blend in better. Further up on the trunk they can leave bulges to the point of reverse taper which can ruin the design.
