]Thought the title might get some interest, my Ulmus parvifolia x suberosa ( corky bark elm), and my Ligustrum vulgare ( privet spp).

Were loosing the dresses, so I thought to spruce them up a bit, and post some pictures.
Privet loses its foliage when it is cold enough.
Here they are in all their nakedness.

Enjoy Cheers Pup

Wow, stunning tree's pup! Like the second one particularly

Pup its a fair bit colder on my patch compared to yours so may I ask did you defoliate the privet? All the privet both small leaf and large leaf here still have their leaves on so I was a bit surprised to see yours naked.

Yes I did, what was happening was they were colouring up, which was fine, but started to go mushy, so I thought to get rid of them now.
Our temps here have been down to 0 but around 4/5, so it has been nippy for us, but the last week has seen plenty of beautiful rain.

Cheers Pup

stunning!!!!

A thread by Pup that says "Fun with Naked". I gotta say, I opened this one with a fair amount of anxious trepidation!

Having said that, I've still to see temps below 5C so my maples are still "dressed"

My maple has lost all its leaves I have had Elms lose there leaves in summer only to put them out now

A beautiful elm!

Could I ask please if the corky bark elm was propagated from cutting or root cutting or other means?
I would like to propagate some also.

I am not sure how it was propagated, as it was bought for me by a friend on a trip around Australia. He bought it from Ray Nesci in NSW.

G'day Pup, What brilliant ramification on both of these, hard to make up my mind which one I prefer, both great. Thanks for the post, Michael.

Pup you are a true artist, I am new here and starting to look at all your posts, you have some amazing trees, and I have read some of your fantastic advice for other members that will help me out as well, keep up the good work mate, loving this site.
