Here is the base of Big Yella. It has fathered tons of huge alley trees for local friends you can see. See all those cut off? They are big diameter suckers cut off.

The sucker pictured above is actually taller then Big Yella. I am going to cut it off and root it. Get my son to dig out the old Big Yella roots and start a new. This time I will not allow any sucker growth to grow or sideshoots to mar my Alley tree look. You can see how ugly the base has become and if you let the sideshoots attain any diameter, when you cut them off you leave a fairly big scar. I am refining my alley tree approach. I want to me like Monika!
