Re: Elm Projects.
Merit in all of them.
I particularly like the second last image in your last post.
Great stuff slightly more out of left field.

Re: Elm Projects.
Impressive trees! Patience really does pay off, doesn't it?
Looking forward to watching these develop even further!

Re: Elm Projects.
Great work John,
I remember seeing a few or at least one of your Ficus plants with equally impresive Negari.
Very inspirational works.
I was wondering with your Elms if you had noticed any fusing of the roots - similar to Ficus and Tridents where the surface roots or Nebari meld together to produce a plate like effect.
I'm just wondering as i have a project with one of my Chinese Elms where i'd love to produce that plate like nebari.
Thanks for sharing your trees.

Re: Elm Projects.
Thanks for all the feedback...
Hi Boics I kind of went for a wide open look when I first started. However always starting a few more projects so will keep this point in mind.
Hi Ryceman3, Mbunro the tree you refer to always gives me a feeling unsteadiness. Sometimes I think it has to much movement, if that is possible.
Hi Kevin, I have not seen any fussing of roots on my trees, actually went out with a torch just to check Maybe it takes a long, long, long time. I have tried to get the plate effect with several Crab Apples, had a little bit of success. Good luck with your project.
Cheers John.

Re: Elm Projects.
Great looking trees!!!
I have a couple that I am working on, though not as impressive... The one on the right I am hoping to train as a kind of cascading raft, and I have a long, narrow oval pot waiting to plunk it into when it's ready.

Re: Elm Projects.
Love them, especially the third one, very very Penjing exposed root style. Love em or hate em, they are a talking point and that is what it is all about.

Re: Elm Projects.
Once again thanks for the kind words....
Hi Thymetraveller, they are great little starters. With time they will be awesome Trees. One thing I would do , would be to put some wire on those branches on the tree on the left. Go hard while they are young and supple. That's if you intend to keep them.....Cheers John.

Re: Elm Projects.
John,
These are amazing! This is the first I have seen of this thread of very unique trees!
They are dead-set spooky; quite an evocative and mysterious family of trees. My favourites include e5,6,7,8,9 and 17 looks like a bl@@dy octopus sucking the life out of a rock!
They all look 10% scarier when they are wet too.
Well done John ... your imagination has paid off in spades and they must be some sight when displayed together. Well done!
Cheers,
Mark
