Chinese Elm Broom

[Leprous Garden]

Where did you get those elm photos on the first page? Just a google search or do you know something better?

I see the concern with reverse taper but it seems to be growing out. The leaves are so small!

This one was repotted around 3 weeks ago, had to clip the edges to get it into an oval from the rectangle. its throwing out new shoots....
i think the oval works too....

Love the style of it. Reminds me of the street trees on my childhood street (I think they were mulberry?) that got hacked back to stumps every other year. Please make sure to post a picture in the winter form.

since ive had this tree its never dropped its leaves, on my balcony it stays semi evergreen. thats the only gripe i have with Chinese elms.

Nice tree mate. Do you plan future crown being bigger slightly?

 

[BobbyLane]

Ive sold it now, just took these pics for the ad.
@Maros it will definitely suit a slightly larger crown.

Aw you sold this one? You worked on it for a while and liked it.. I'm surprised you sold it.
