Sumo Cypress

Several years ago(4/5), I removed a cypress tree from my front yard…too close to drainfield. I took a look at him yesterday. He is about 13′-15′ tall but you can see he is a tubular, squatty type. I may just root prune and put him in a shallower grow pot but I was wondering what different members of the club might do………..now? Carve? Top? Trash? Here are three shots. (Trunk is probably 8″ caliper) rj

Don’t get rid of it. It’s very similar to the one Paul did at the Guy workshop. Try to style it like that except it will only have one truck. I’m sure it will turn out great!
