I spend so much time in my garden - yet little things still pass me by. A few weeks back I transplanted some Nandina .... the space created light and it seems, the light created an Elm clump. Not five minutes later and it was back near where I dug the little seedling clump... just with a different future. If it’s a waste of time it’s only 5 minutes and another few for this post.

Re: Five minutes and a future Elm clump
Anytime you need more Chinese elm seedlings just disturb the roots around the tree in your yard mate. Looks to be exactly what happened here; in removing the nandina you cut a root and it responded by sending up suckers.
I think you could become the southeast Melbourne connection for Chinese elm if you put your mind to it!

Tending bonsai teaches me patience.
