Thanks for sharing emi. Did you collect the Elm like that or did you manipulate the trunk to do that. Very unusual.emi93m wrote: I have a soft spot for this ELM as I love the shape of the trunk

Hi bodhi
This tree was trained this way and has only now healed completely of the wiring. Here is a pic of he tree before I removed 2 branches.I removed the two branches to highlight the unusual trunk and hope in time will only get better
Regards Mick

Nice work Mick, 
however, i've said it before and i'll say it again, Keep your trees roots buried until they are more developed. As yours are now(exposed to air) they will not thicken , if they were buried ,they would thicken and your tree would have a spread of nice sized roots, unlike now how they are skinny,messy and not pleasing to look at.
