Last July, I brought back one from Florida that had a fungus problem. (Only the dwarf BDs seem to get this.) I was unable to save the tree.

That is sad to hear Bart. Let me know if you want me to pick out a replacement for you
. Maybe next time we should try and find one without fungus.

I don't recall black spots on the leaves.

I have this problem right now on one of my burtt davyiis. I thought it might be thrips, but I have not seen any on the leaves. I will have Jim take a look at it and see what he says.

The pink oval is where I want to perform the trunk chop, What type of cut would be best? Straight, angle (if so what angle), "V"?

I believe a straight angle chop would be best. I can not tell exactly what angle from the picture, but I would say that the best angle to chop it would be at the angle that gives the most pleasant and natural looking taper to the top of the tree. After the chop, you could use knob cutters to carve it down and give it a more rounded appearance.
