]Thought the title might get some interest, my Ulmus parvifolia x suberosa ( corky bark elm), and my Ligustrum vulgare ( privet spp).
Were loosing the dresses, so I thought to spruce them up a bit, and post some pictures.
Privet loses its foliage when it is cold enough.
Here they are in all their nakedness.
Enjoy Cheers Pup

Re: Fun with naked
Pup its a fair bit colder on my patch compared to yours so may I ask did you defoliate the privet? All the privet both small leaf and large leaf here still have their leaves on so I was a bit surprised to see yours naked.

Re: Fun with naked
Yes I did, what was happening was they were colouring up, which was fine, but started to go mushy, so I thought to get rid of them now.Watto wrote:Pup its a fair bit colder on my patch compared to yours so may I ask did you defoliate the privet?

Our temps here have been down to 0 but around 4/5, so it has been nippy for us, but the last week has seen plenty of beautiful rain.
Cheers Pup

Re: Fun with naked
A thread by Pup that says "Fun with Naked". 
I gotta say, I opened this one with a fair amount of anxious trepidation!

Re: Fun with naked
Could I ask please if the corky bark elm was propagated from cutting or root cutting or other means?
I would like to propagate some also.

After roughly 20 years of growing bonsai, I reckon I might just be starting to get the hang of it...

Re: Fun with naked
I am not sure how it was propagated, as it was bought for me by a friend on a trip around Australia. He bought it from Ray Nesci in NSW.trident76 wrote:Could I ask please if the corky bark elm was propagated from cutting or root cutting or other means?
