Here are a few Elms to peruse if you want to. The broom style one has me wondering which front is best.
So maybe you can help !!

Re: Mini Elms.
Going purely on the picture, I prefer the silhouette of the second one. Lovely trees as always

Hi Pup
I agree with phoenix , I like the second pic it sort of reminds me of the baobab trees in Africa, lovely little trees . Are they seijou elm ( i think that's how it's spelt )

No it is not Seiju it was imported in the mid 80s from Japan as Nire Geyaki/Keyaki. A type of Japanese elm!!!.peterb wrote:Hi Pup

Re: Mini Elms.
Pup, I prefer the second front, but two things. First, I'd tilt it a bit up on the left, and second, I'd worry about so many branches coming from one spot. In time this may cause problems with a knob of growth. Or am I seeing it wrong?
