Chinese Elm from Root cutting

Post by Sean M »

Hi all, Merry Christmas,

I got a chance to work on this Chinese Elm I purchased as stock from Megumi Bennet in April of this year.
It had a bit of a scare when I was in hospital about a month ago. Canberra got hit with some really hot days and I couldn't monitor my plants, but it's bounced back nicely.
I have to work on the root spread when I re-pot it as they are all heading towards the front, but I think in a couple of years this will be a nice little tree.

Hi Sean

I really like this little elm. How's this one coping in the hot weather?

I also couldn't help noticing the great little work stand you've got there. Did you make it yourself and if so would you be able to outline the plans or give a few photos etc?

I'm always intereseted in what other people use for their work benches

Cheers

Stewart

Thanks for the reply Stewart,

This little guy is doing well. In fact the reason he is on the workbench was because he was starting to suffer down in the greenhouse. Powering along now though.
The workbench was bought by my wife from Aldi, because I kept using the outdoor table (which I still do for large stuff). I'll take some more photos when it cools down outside.

Sean.
