Hi Meagi , mate stay on top of them with the pinch and grow method and you'll have some very nice canopies in a very short time . It will be good to see these at seasons end .

Cheers Alpine

Thanks alpine
I pinch the leaves every evening before bed .
You'd be surprised how well they grow in a 24 he period

I am wondering what style you are aiming at?

Hi booga
Your in one of the best areas for digging English elm
I'm told keep ur eyes out I'm sure there's lots in your bush area


Also love to see your progression on your trees

It is a great spot Meagi But they all straight trunks. I dug them from a water logged spot beside the Latrobe River. The tap roots almost didn't dint exist and with such a healthy root flair they have taken off amazingly

Straights are good to ... You may have to search other
Areas for the twisted knarly ones their out there
In your back yard gippy area famous for them
Or the alpine park is close to you
