That’s some nice raw material, but I’m a little confused how it relates to the stump clump.
Five Year Native Tree Challenge: RJG2's Ulmus rubra (slippery elm)

Sorry...I thought this thread was looking for stuff related to slippery elm...It is a slippery elm....

This is a really cool elm project. I love the material. Its Bonkers!!!!
I like the idea of a naturalesque pot for this. I also think something completely contrasting would be cool also, something with very sharp flat angular contours.

This is what I am thinking so far too.

Yeah, I don't think this one will be ready in time, but that's okay.
Reboot.

Wicked raft though!

So much texture in it. I’d think a subtle matte glazed oval or rectangle would enhance the tree and all the detail it has. But looks like you have time to consider your options still.

I do like the look of the pot in the "inspiration" post (#2). We'll see!

Had a couple hours. Left some stuff I'm not sure of, but hey, options are good.

Is it too late to do another cut back on elms? I have 2.5 months to the average first frost.

What a great funky tree you’ve got going here!
Could be a great opportunity to see how many cut backs and flushes you can get on it.
I would think that’s plenty of time. You probably won’t get the kind of response you got mid summer, but I bet you get a new push. If nothing does push, based on how this thing was treated before being dug, I can assure you it won’t die.

Just wanted to make sure things have time to harden off. I keep seeing people do their last trimming in July in milder climates (not necessarily elm).
Oddly this is my first elm, and was the only one until I took a small air layer off one of the other slippery elms in my yard.
I'm beginning to think they don't like rooting hormone - I'm 1 for 3 on air layers and like 10 for 100 on cuttings (and 9 of those were killed by squirrels or chipmunks).
I'll have to try without next time.

Never enough time in the day. God, weird clumpfts are difficult to organize.
I'm sure forests are similar (we'll see once my tray of amur seedlings grow out enough to get my attention)

Posting a couple inspiration pics, so I don't have to go to the book of faces to find them every time.
