Ulmus parvifolia 'Seiju'

[AlainK]

There was a gust of wind, a ded branch fell from a big tree and snapped two of the branches :



So I will cut out the first branch, then the trunk at the same level and try to use them as cuttings. I think that there is a fair chance that they'll take. The bottom part will make a kind of pollard :

Big guy I picked up from a nursery a few months ago for $200. Air layering it down.

@Norcalkbonsai nice find, congratulatios!

Seiju cuttings works really well, you can see how mine are doing here click,click,
so if you going to prune some branches, you may try, even the thikest ones seems root easely if the humedity is hight. Don`t waste that great stuff!

I love my little seju!! Cut down from about a 5 foot nursery tree!

'Seiju' ?...

I think so. That's what I googled to find it.
I think one of our club members also has a Seiju forest.
Pretty impressive.
I'd guess height is a long term thing.

Here is an update on this one.
Going for a broom/oak natural style. Got the moss off it and selected branches. Wait to cut back till winter or possibly the following year.
