This is one of my earliest trees, it used to have aerial roots coming down from the trunk and branches. They were however hiding the trunk which as you can see has very good taper.
So I cut the off, but instead of throwing them I used them to graft a root system all round the trunk.
The base is 11 mm at soil level the height is 400 mm spread 500mm.
