Just taken from the bed.. nebari now about 8 inches across. I normally don't handle trees this big but damned if I'm not going to make a nice zel!
It started in a pot for 8 years. No good. In the ground one year. A bit better. In the ground another 2 without touching it.
Nebari is not perfect and never will be. Branch transitions are not perfect and never will be.
We will see what happens from here..........

trimmed a bit

Final prune

A box of matches.

very coarse mix for huge fertilizer dump it's going to get. (Not the normal mix for elms!)

Potted.
