Ulmus parvifolia 'Sempervirens' a few have asked in conversation

[GrimLore]

Several people here and on the phone have asked me if the Ulmus parvifolia 'Sempervirens' Weeping needs assistance such as wires, weights etc... I was looking through a lot of pictures on the camera today and came across this picture which shows its ability to "weep" by itself. Quite opposite of the upright growth on my Chinese Elms -



I just noticed that rather large Pine needle hanging on a branch but pretty certain it was not helping

How difficult are these to find other than from seedlings??

Honest, I just found out from the source it is one of three lace bark seeds, two wept as above and one did not, all from seed. The variety I quoted does the same and honest look at growers like TYTY not Bonsai sources as they are sold far less expensive for landscape.
