keen to see how the little elm progress over the next few years :tu:
Hey Banong,

Slow going with this one unfortunately.

I cut back hard a few weeks back so there is a severe lack of foliage at the moment.

Not long now until the final photos, looking forward to seeing everyone's trees at the end of the comp!

Cheers,
Pearcy.

Final comp update.

Tree was slow to grow. It copped a flogging when it fell off my bench in strong winds then sulked ever since. Should get the health right up and power on after that.

A long way to go but will eventually still only sit around then 15cm mark tops (currently around 12cm). Looking forward to the next repot where I can fix the current planting angle by a few degrees so it does not come out of the soil so straight.

Cheers,
Pearcy.
