Siberian elm
Hi, I have just acquired a Siberian Elm and was wondering about the leaf size. I have a few small Chinese elms and as I have been using clip and grow pruning, the leaves are remaining and perhaps getting smaller. Can I expect the same results with the Siberian elm? Can ramification be achieved with the same techniques as with the Chinese elm? Thanks for your help, cheers Brad

Re: Siberian elm
Yes the leaves should reduce in size like a Chinese Elm over time. With the correct ramification procedure pretty much most leaves will reduce in size.

Re: Siberian elm
Thanks Kirky, I have a few Chinese elms with different leaf size but, the Siberian has leaves a little larger.
I will treat it like a Chinese!
