Ulmus pumila 11 years from raw material to....raw material (be aware, long photo progression serie)

[Davidlpf]

Was the year 2007, I was coming back from work on a dark and cold november night, when I found a shrub brutally ripped next the rubbish bin, I looked with attention and I realized that was a elm.

No tools, no time, no roots, but what the hell, It was an elm, for free, in front of my nose, so I took it to home





First branch cut


and "root work"


after the "masascre"



It was potted in a mica pot, fingers crossed and a prayer for him

Sadly, I lost year 2011 and part of 2012 photos, What a pity!, but show must go on...

The no tapered turnk was bothering me, so, the tree lost part of it.

No photos, but I keep one video after wood work
