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.

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).

Hi Joe,

Plan is a more elongated windswept look.
