Dad's got a maple out back that he got from his mom 30 years ago. It had a bad start due to the weather. It is split about 2 foot off the ground with about10 branches. Cureently it is about 25feet tall, but no center trunk, just long vertical upright brances. it is an utter pain to mow around, and its starting to get bad in the center void. Dad fears limbs will fall onto the power lines if we let it go. Dad decided to just cut off most of the branches and seal them. I talked him into trying to transplant a branch and start a new tree that will grow properly. Then we can destump the old one. Question is, is this even possible.? I know 20 years ago it wasnt. This is due to a very inadequate and nonexistent root structore with just a branch. With the development of root promoting chemicals, is such a feat possible? How do I fix this? Dad wants to keep it (or parts of it for a new tree) for sentimental reasons, but the tree simply looks horrible with all the limbs chopped off. Is there anyway to save this tree through some sort of tranplsnting/grafting, or something? Also, we got 6 Black Walnut trees out back. The last few years they have developed what dad calls green-grey moss/mold/fungus on the trunk. It does not seem to be moss as it grows all around the trunk and dad thinks it killed one last year. I love these old trees and would like any help in getting them healthy again. Thanks for any help guys!!
