Just an Elm, We Will call it Elm #1

[Mellow Mullet]

OK, I realized when I was preparing this post that I was willy-nilly posting elm shot and did not name the threads in a way that I could easily update.

This one is Shohin size, and while it survived in the tiny shallow pot that I had put it in, I felt that it needed a little more to thrive, so it got a new pot:

Very nice little tree! Great nebari.

It has nice movement. Good one,!
The soil seems a bit large though

I have experimented with different sizes, the larger seems to work better. We are very rainy in the summer.

Very nice John...I always seem to forget you have trees besides flowering ones.

Sounds right. Experience over theory

Just curious....why such a big Particle size on your soil? Is that Purposely done or is it just what you had? I tend to use smaller particles for developing root spreads but I guess your tree is much farther along then most of my material so maybe I answered my own question. Nice tree btw looks like something I'm developing but much farther along by years.
