Yeah, that's your birdhouse tree there, it's low to the ground! If I was around when it was a sapling I woulda pruned it to a singe leader, it probably is a multi-tree. Yes, my friend wouldn't be amused if I did something to that tree, I'll just hafta wait for it's demise. I can always leave enuff of the stump for the Vinca to climb on I can also put an arbor or something there for the Vinca to climb also if I need to.
Here it is nearly 9 years ago and here it is today. -

See that branch on the low right of that old photo? It was 2 or 3 inches in diameter, I cut that thing off 2 or 3 years ago, it was really cramping my style for years when I mowed!
