im posting this elm just to see how i go with progession over the course of the current shohin comp. It was inelagible to enter as i had wired that leader about 6 weeks ago. i thought it would be fun to see how i go with it. future height im hoping around 6 inches and base is about 2 inches atm. no idea whats under the soil.
