Using the Shape Editor Tool, click twice to add a straight line segment just a little bit above the bottom of the trunk. Extend the line segment beyond the blend. Drag the center of the line segment into a graceful arc as shown. Do the same for the left side of the trunk. Select the line and the trunk and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Slice Shapes . Select and delete the sliced off area of the trunk (shown in blue). Repeat for the limb.
