Ulmus Parviflora (Chinese Elm) #74

[Orion_metalhead]

Another chinese elm. Same progeny of my others. A cutting gifted to me. Kind of going for a windswept look ultimately I think. Would look pretty cool.

Brought this in to mess with. Found a new front. Marked for repot next year... Im thinking im going to get it in the ground for a couple years to bulk it up.

Gave a little clean up today. Removed inward growing shoots, clipped some of the longer branches back. Fertilized. Back on bench.

When done correctly, I absolutely love the windswept style. Especially eye-catching in the winter silhouette.

I would definitely cut back to the primary further back and begin that as the next section of trunk, otherwise the main trunk is too long and straight. I imagine you'll begin to see that as time goes on.

May very well happen. Will see how it responds. I agree the trunk above the first primary is a bit straight.

Or another option is to possibly title it and grow those branches up as trunks, you'd have somewhat of raft/bridge. You'd have to like rafts though and it depends how the roots are made up. Just a suggestion, to open the mind up.

One way ive gotten bend into young deciduous trunks

Thanks for the thoughts and ideas. I always loved your deciduous work.
