[Meagi] ulmus procera 1 [formally Gerard's]

This tree has had a final trim.
The apex needs to develop a little more, and is due to have a bit more wiring because the new seasons branches have a mind of their own.
(I feel that the final presentation should be without wire if possible)
Height is 19cm (photos taken 6 weeks ago, Aug 14)
I am pleased with how the deadwood is developing and making the trunk the main feature, I expect the foliage canopy will require constant trimming and will benefit from occasional defoliation.

Sorry folks I just realised a second photo is required with a ruler, red rubber band indicates 20cm

Thanks again Gerard for your permission as you can see tree has grew and refined heaps to a nice cascade style . I plan to grow the cascade even farther and work on leaf size reduction and work the roots over .
A new pot also maybe in store .

G'day Miagi,

Have you potted it a little too upright or is it just the angle that the photo was taken on?

Regards,
Steven

Maybe also potted a bit far to the right, I would of allowed more space on the right (under the canopy) and tighter on the left

Hi thanks I will look tonight if it is can I repot or is it to late due to bud burst
Cheers

No, it will be fine.

Just an update
wired a bit and is growing madly did not manage to fix the slant on the repot was to nervous to disturb roots

Another nice tree.
I saw this at the bnw show did I not?

Maybe a slightly bigger pot next year will suit the tree and give you more confidence to get the right potting angle as well.

Keep us posted.

Hi boics
No this on is not show ready yet maybe in a couple yrs
I seen heaps of nice EE at the show my mouth was watering !!!
Has a few faults yes I think a bigger pot would be better
Hard to manoeuvre in this little pot
Just bought a heap of pots will see if I have one to suit
Cheers
