I bought a tree recently from a local seller. He gave me a couple complementary trees. This small leaf elm is one of them. Quite big for a free tree but... half of the trunk is rooted...
Well. I spent over an hour working on it. Here is the result...

Looks nice from where it started.

I cringed when I saw the first pic... But it cleaned up really well, what a sweet tree and complementary to boot. 

Yeah, I am happy that it still has a very decent base and root system. It still has potential to be a good tree.

Great on the complementary tree

Yeah, I never thought it could turn out decent when I originally saw the tree too.

Very impressed. Bargain.

I'm blown away by the result after seeing what you came home with!

Thanks for the nice compliment. The whole idea for us is trying to find a tree within whatever material we have access to. I guess I was lucky to find a decent one
