This is also a natural deciduous form in nature although admittedly not very zelkova-like.

nice trunk to work on!

What would be more typical zelkova to you?

Single point radial spread of branches is most common natural growth habit.

Zelkova today. Just gave it its fifth and last cutback of the year. Originally I liked this tree because it was set up as a rather untraditional broom style. This is also a natural deciduous form in nature although admittedly not very zelkova-like.

Very nice! The cut back still looks relatively "raw", which I like.

Five cutbacks in one summer, that is vigor! Hope you get great color on it.

And zero fertilizer this year. The Osmocote you might see in the photo is from last year.
