[IBC] Hackberry was [IBC] Creating Hollows ( Was [IBC] A little tree biology/physiology question
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.
