Oh! this brings up some possibilities!

I had several hackberry in the ground. I took some
out and one got away from me. I have done several
major cutbacks on it. It now is about 18" to 20" tall
with a 10" nebari, and 5" trunk. It has sprouts all
over and a semblance of taper from the last big cut.
We are cutting the major big roots one at a time and
hoping for roots of the cut, live end (Hormoned and
packed with sphagnum befor re covering with soil) I
wondered what I could do about the cut. First
inclination was to put it in back, but with the
threadlike branch sprouts I could hollow out the cut
when we dig it up! Then shorten to about 10" using the
nicely tapered trunk and tiny branches. I shoulda
taken pictures.
