English Elm Ramification

[Watto]

I dug this English elm many years ago and it is starting to mature nicely. This time of year is very important for your deciduous trees as there is lots to do. This one has had its winter prune and the ramification is now quite integral and developed. The bark is cracked and the dead wood is also starting to crackle. For those who don't like dead wood on deciduous trees I'm sorry but it had some dead wood when I dug it and it is still there. Currently it is in a Pat Kennedy pot that matched the bark originally but the bark has "darkened" so I might need a new pot?

The tree looks good, very interesting and suits the pot to me, very nice...I see the tree first as said very nice and then I see the pot second, works for me Watto.

cheers Anthony

Very cool looking tree Watto. Love the twists and turns and the Deadwood has bags of character. Cheers John.

Thanks for your comments. I am thinking a slightly darker pot to match the more mature bark may be an improvement.
Do you think Pat would make another pot a bit darker?

For me, the dark flecks in the pot relate to the trunk colour, and the pale background relates to the paler small branches. I can't see a problem (except that it's not a Eucalypt...). Funky tree, well potted.
