Chinese Elm, aka Lacebark is too close to the house (1.5') so has to go. They're beautiful trees so I want to try transplanting it. The question is: Assuming it survives being transplanted, is this 'trio' type growth patern going to self destruct in a decade or two (ignore the scrappy leaning trunk to the left)? I've seen Birch planted like this but Lacebark is new to me, and apparently know for dodgy limb attachments. Would I be better to prune away all competing trunks except 1?
Thanks

It seems all this sub is dedicated to is killing trees.
That is a beautiful tree that has lived many years.
Let it live.
