Hello Gerard. I intend on leaf pruning and wiring it in the next week or so. I will post pics then.

As promised, I worked on my raft last week. The Elm before leaf pruning.

A way to go before this matches the superb ram of the Elm at the start of the thread but the strong feeding will help in our short Summers. Thanks for looking.

Hello Craig and thankyou. I will not be carving this one as I don't feel it needs it. I put a ruler infront and the length is about 18". I would have used a retractable tape if I had any left. My kids have knackered them all pretending their walkie talkies.

Even though it's just had a leaf prune and very light trim, there are buds popping everywhere. This has to be the feeding regime.
