Do cows make Bonsai?

Nice work Grant. The tree is an interesting one and the pots nice too.

Have you thought about cutting back hard and developing a more compact foliage mass?

Pretty sure you not the only collector of this herd of artist's work.

One of a handful I have.

Early days but off to a sodding good start.

Sorry that was the only pun I could milk the cow reference for.

Update.

Also it is probably Ulmus pumila or Siberian Elm.

I will lower the apex by trimming it harder in spring. I will also remove a branch or two to create some billowing effects amongst the outline.

Whats your fert regime for these elms?

Just the usual every two weeks.( Powerfeed and Seasol).
