Just thought I’d start a thread on Ulmus Procera seeing there is a few of us that like them.

Plan on starting to work mine this week end as it going to be finally cool for a bit .

use to have but is still kicking !

The start of a great thread I'm sure.
Collected this Elm from a Gaulburn dig way back in 04. My very first tree I ever collected and what a trunk for my first attempt. Never done any carving or jining on the trunk and left it to show it's natural undisturbed age.

Nice treemate , don’t you love how these trees roll over the bark to make it look entirely different in years to come . They just get bettter with age naturally .

I'm not sure how we allowed a visitor to get away with such a good tree!
Just joking. good tree mate.

Great thread, I have just been given access to a whole grove of mowed/chewed EE and wonder what time of year best to collect them? Over to you experts?????

Mid July to end August

Lucky you sue !!

This may have been dug on the same day as Alan's.
Its a twin trunk.

Very nice Watto .

Come on ppl surely there’s more than these Ee in Australia.

Maybe not maybe I got them all , ( 12 )

Here is a couple of neglected untrained potted tree's we collected in need of wireing and styling when i find the time , the forest is also neglected and the new raft is 1 of the trunks we collected up in Merriang . There is a topic on the raft progression from a few months ago . Sorry about the pics but it is Raining .

Cheers Alpine

All looking good and healthy mate . Good thing about elms the adapt to any condition.

Here is the turtle back, clump style , forest in need of a trim and a few others we collected in a grow bed I will get to these one day before they all die from neglect ..

Cheers . Alpine

Thanks Meagi , I will just have to wait then.

One more. This one is only about 25 cm tall but I have had it since a dig in 1995 so its been in a pot for a while now.
