I have been asked what in the world am I going to do with that Maple stump...

One option that I see is shown in the attached picture where I will remove a "V" shaped section from the main trunk and gently carve the trunk to merge with the two main branches and attempt a modified broom style.

The maple is at an angle now due to the vast rootage underneath. It has real nice nebari but also a lot of roots underneath those. I scraped the bottoms of the upper nebari and dusted with root hormone before potting.

Any suggestions?
