Chinese Elm Gets wired again

[daytona1911]

I collected this 9 years ago as a 12 foot tall tree that was blown over in a hurricane ( 2004), along with 19 others. It was promptly cut to a stump and put in a training pot, This was its Chinese training pot 5 years ago. Center is completely rotted out, drilled for drainage and wood hardener applyed to arrest further rot.
Here is the after trimming/before wiring and after wiring/before repotting photo. That is my 15 yo son for scale.
Ill try to get pics of repot tomorrow.

Looks like you've done a great job wiring the tree. Please post again as the new leaves begin to appear.

Yes, they are all pretty big, but they are all a bit different. Not all this type of broom for sure. Ill post pics as I give them their wiring for the season.

Curious, how does one "drill for drainage"?

Where is the exit hole?

With a very long drill bit...exits at the bottom.

Like through the base into the soil?
