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 !! Cheers Pup

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 )

You see more of the limbs in second but lovely either way!

No it is not Seiju it was imported in the mid 80s from Japan as Nire Geyaki/Keyaki. A type of Japanese elm!!!.
Bill Valavanis named it as corky bark elm.

I might put it in a round pot. Thanks

Cheers Pup

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?
