Thanks Neal mate it's getting there

From a stick/stump to this stage is amazing Craig

It is getting better and better each time you post a picture, good work
Keep them coming

Cheers.

The tree has come a long way Craig. A good example to beginners, showing how constant attention to a subject will produce a lovely tree. Looking forward to viewing it again in the future.

Hey Craig,

Looks like that graft is holding well, it really is a great little broom and will only get better...

Matt

You've done a fine job with this tree Craig.

I have enjoyed watching it's progress.

Cheers,
Paul

Thankyou so much Paul, thanks for you comment .


Also thanks to everyone who has previously made reference or commented on this Elm, it has all helped me to take this tree further than i may have,

All, i have defoliated the elm so i can remove the wiring , reapplied a few small wires, nothing too major ,The interesting part is how the Bark is cracking/splitting apart, very interesting

very nice Craig, i see the right hand side is filling in nicely, and looks like the graft has taken , touch wood
im about ready to defoliate mine after a free grow and a hard cut back at the start of spring.
cheers

nice tree bud, it looks like bark is fallin off

Thanks Strawbs, Harry, graft- mmm-hopefully , and yes hopefully the bark comes off completely, it may or may not of been in a fire .

Thats an inspiring tree, gives me something to aim for with the one ive just started im in awe

Whoa that bee's huge!!!! ... or ... is the tree just a little bonsai??

I couldn't tell because it looks so real and natural!!!

...(I guess the pot and stand and guy wires were a dead giveaway but you can see why I was tricked!! Awesome looking tree now mate )

Thats looking good mate, I like that back drop The bee is a big bugger for sure
