Can"t we spot a new user with 23 posts a bit of extra time, given that it is highly likely that he/she did not know of the picture size limitations of this site.Bretts wrote:Hey mate I fear you may not be accepted if you post the pic tomorrow.

Ahhh fingers crossed 
- just resized the pic size on my camera and went and took some more pics (hence the awful flash!) so at least now everyone can sort of see what they look like...

Re: Chipper5 'Hokkaido Elm'
the Crikey wasn't aimed at you Brett, just a shout from the rooftop at any ears in the area.Bretts wrote:If it was my choice Mojo yes but I have seen others disqualified for similar in the past comps
The important thing is this comp is underway and has a lot of participants of all skill levels, with field grown trees, collected trees, young nursery stock and older stock trees well represented. Is there a prize for the most reckless tree kill (the "Ambition meets oh bugger award")? I'm a chance if my little Trident has any ugly surprises waiting for me below soil level tomorrow. I can't say I was doing great root work in 2003-2004 and from memory it was a timid wave of the shears as well.
Cheers,
Mojo

Re: Chipper5 'Hokkaido Elm'
Chipper, that is good raw material for this event and in your climate you will get a decent rate of growth to build the tree.

Mojo

Re: Chipper5 'Hokkaido Elm'
Here are some better daytime photos I just took- lower res so I could get them onto the site! I haven't decided on a front or back for this one, all I've done since I got it was put it in a bigger pot in the hope the trunk would thicken up a bit- which it has (although not as much as I was hoping). I think it was possibly a cutting or even a root cutting. The branches have just been left to grow wherever they want so hopefully I'll have a few good options to choose from.

Re: Chipper5 'Hokkaido Elm'
Well with this one I thought the "front" was going to be the top picture- but after much thought have decided the front will be the bottom picture and have removed the big branch coming out towards the front and slight right. I have kept the other two on the R) and L) as the first 2 branches but have reduced them in sze and have cut the tree back quite hard.
Am now hoping this will encourage a bit more branching and we'll go from there
