2nd question: Should I allow this tree to grow as is - with a forked trunk; or should I go ahead and shear off one

Nichter's Home Services Corp on Nov 27, 2011That sort of fork is a very weak link in a tree and is likely to split wide open someday whenit is largerHelpful Reply

April on Nov 28, 2011Sort of reminds me of a Dogwood. There's a tree like that outside of my bedroom, though the "fork" in it is not that wide. It's grown to be fairly tall - to it's hard to say what would be best - pruning it or just leaving it. Saying this, I'm no tree expert though. :)Helpful Reply

Nichter's Home Services Corp on Nov 28, 2011OK, never mind. I did a search for all YOUR posts and found the separate thread In forum language a thread is a series of posts forming a discussion.. you were referring not to a separate post above, but to a different thread. That one had never showed up on my feed above, below, or in between...Separate threads display on different viewers feed according to their history and settings. So when you refer to a thread "above" it is only such on your page, not everyone elsesHelpful Reply

Elle on Dec 29, 2012It looks more like a shrub than a tree. If it is (crepe myrtle, dogwood, etc.) then multiple trunks are part of their charm. So what is this mystery plant?Helpful Reply
