I just got these two trees. I want to increase the trunk size on both so after some research I decided I will put them into bigger pots. The person that had them before me obviously had a vision for the chinese elm, as he cut off some branches to shape the trunks course. But I envision the end product as a lot shorter. Say about a third of the height it is now, where there aren't any branches. Will that be okay to do? What is going to happen when I cut the trunk?

Hi if you want to increase the size of the trunk and or tree you can put then into a bigger pot for sure or what I would do is re plant them into the ground for a year or two I believe that is the quickest and easiest way to get a larger trunk/tree.

Agreed with the transplanting it into a bigger pot idea, it would add some girth with time... lots of time. Now, if you want to speed up the process a full notch, planting it into the ground would definitely help a lot more. Or you could use this method:



(Note: There are even more methods and this one would explain your previous question regarding how cutting up your tree?s trunk might affect your tree integrally)

Oh... another thing you could try in order to shorten the trunk?s length is an airlayer. Here is the general know-how:



Hope all this might help,
