Accidental elm

Post by regwac »

I was searching for the water line and accidently ( honestly ) dug up this cluster of elm ( English ) . Trimmed the roots and into the smallest practical container .

My English elm from root suckers are nearly my favourite bonsai. Small trees that are developing well and reasonably fast.

Your find is much bigger but conceptually the same - I reckon you’ve stumbled on a gem.
