Wiring has again been completed for this Elm group and i thought it would be faster this time around. Nearly four days and about half way through i thought "Why". I think the setting has the potential to be impressive so i will forge on. See you next Spring for its next wiring.

This setting loses a lot of impact in leaf but show it i must, as it spends a lot of time in leaf. Opening it up with defoliation and ramification will take years but it now has a small impact of a forest. A long way to go

Love it Bhodi and you give me inspiration each time I drive past the EE stand I am going to harvest in winter. The progression from single to forest is outstanding.

The lust of the dig is upon you i see, i know it all to well. Don't forget to sharpen the shovel as you will need it to plough through the connected root system

OH yes the urge has dug deep Bhodi don't worry ! Shovel sharpened,pick waiting too. Am tempted to try to dig one in the next rains just to see if it works...patience they say

May even suggest a dig if I can tempt the farmer into letting us in as a group....watch this space.

I've enjoyed the progress of this and then these trees, and would love to see it in Autumn colours too!
Thanks for sharing it Bodhi!

I am a little amazed as to how this has grown into a forest also. A little bit like i was led. I hope it has stunning Autumn colour this year to post. The main tree of the group usually turns it on.

I did see that pic, and was so taken by it I was hoping the whole forest colours up similarly!
Looking forward to Autumn!
Thanks bodhi.
