2021 Five Year native tree challenge; CreekChalks Cedar Elm ( Ulmus crassifolia)

[CreekChalk]

Decided not to airlayer. Trim and slip pot to a more upright angle

Looking very healthy! I’m leaning towards air layering it at the red line, blue mark will be new leader… thoughts?

I love the bark on that elm.. and I wouldn't cut too much off because I think you got something special as is.. at least not enough for a air layer. But I don't have a good Sense of what it really looks like from pictures so go with your gut.
