I recently bought a seedling (?) of Celtis occidentalis forma pumila. It is
supposedly a dwarf form with small leaves. I was going to use it for
landscaping & changed my mind. It is 2 feet tall, 1/4" caliper, with a few leafy

branches at the top. I put it in the growing bed. Is it worth bothering with?
Should
I chop it back to get taper or just let it grow for now? Will I live long
enough for it to accomplish something?
