Ever wonder why I like Art and Sculpture so much, well I used to look up St.Anthony of Egypt - a lot when I was younger
Best to you.
Good Day

whats the rule about multiple branches coming from the same point, except for it would be the leader/apex? I have a crab apple and the top branch has 4 coming from the same spot.. they are all over pencil thick at this point...

Unless going for the Freddy Kruger look....

Maybe the reason why the Beatles were such a hit even though somewhat radical, was they tended to follow the rules of "music" rather than come up with discordant sound and try to call it music, or good.

Hmmm...I almost didn't either!
I was just itching for something to think about.
There is a split of the base between the 2 big trunks, but it is packed with feeders and fatties so it's possible.
I'm not a huge fan of a lot of holes in the base.....it'll be a fun balancing act.
And that very well may be it.

I'd almost be tempted to take a 4" band clamp (or whatever size) and a slip of old bicycle tube and clamp the entire base together for a year below the soil line... not tight, but just enough to restrict the roots and to encourage them to fuse... but I do all kinds of weird stuff that the trees sometimes counter.

If the guitars don't sound like buzz saws and the vocalist isn't screaming it doesn't do a thing for me.I like some rap music...
Think Judas Priest. Or Megadeth.

Questions which come to my mind are:
Can one listen to more genres like Rap, Metal, Classic and enjoy them all?
Can one have CD of different authors of different genres in its collection?
Do guitar player from Megadeth have to know rules of Classical music?
Can one artist play on same guitar Metal solo and after that some spanish music?
Does Eminem have to use 18 century opera terminology when he is creating his songs?

I have to say, with authority, Nicks work, his bonsai compositions, where 90% cool naturalistic bonsai trees. Those that were out-there, weird ones, often with non-tree themes, were the offspring of playfulness and boredom, often coupled with haveing oddball material. He really focused on the art and not so much on the traditions of bonsai, as a result when he studied plants coming from the woods or his garden he could not help himself when he would see something--like a mouth, or a tail, or George Bush's face. Really he never set out to do controversial things--it's not his way. He did enjoy thumbing his nose at the old-boy establishment though. Sometimes he was inspired to make highly contrived sculptural things but they always were well designed and always seemed to tell a big story. Anyway, his long work doing bonsai was mostly just great well-designed trees. But then I have a great affection for his off-the-wall ones.
Sure Maros, I've got hundreds of rock albums + one with Christmas songs.

I'll at least listen once or a worthy some, to anything, but I prefer to be able to understand their words, (and not just a few repeated over and over and...), and the music toned enough that I'm not in a constant adrenalin dropping mode. I like ongs with well written and legibly sung stories. Since I have no musical talent/inclination/ability/knowledge, my criteria for "music" is a decent beat, non discordant/disharmony, no adrenalin forcing, something to have in the background without it striving for center stage.
