If you're after Japanese Elm specifically then work the phones and the internet.

Not specifically that elm, just an elm in general. Or any other species that one can use for root over rock... Cheers for the replys

Chinese Elm are very common in WA as garden and street trees. Various fici(sp?) will do root over rock and are everywhere (cutting from the local park!)
Trident maple are a common subject in Japan but struggle in Perth.

As you can see it was a very pleasant surprise so now we wait on more development.
Cheers Pup
Looking great Pup, the size of your tree's are always so deceptive (the point I guess), at first glance I always think they are so much larger then they actually are.
Looking like you'll definatley have a decent RoR in that 18months!
