i have a piece of elm i dug around a year ago, maybe in the height of summer a little more...

it was found in a boggy marsh close to the roadside, near a forest of elm, it begged me to take it so i only obliged

unfortunately i do not have the smash em up into the pot photo's, but....

i do have some recent photo's, remember these are a year after collection.

as of the 17th of november... about 20 minutes later...
and now we can see a bit more of the nebari


update soon...

Looks like you are going to have some fun there mate.



Woof

for sure!

i LOVE English elms. Keep us posted on its progress. Once it is styled you can defoliate twice in one season and the leaf size comes down admirably.

Looks like Day of the Triffids

very cool azz cant wait to see what you do with them.

Nice tree mate this will be a ripper one day

With 3 hands you should be able to get the job done extra quick !!

nice tree aaron

this will be a ripper in no time, i look forward to the progression of it, you would of had some nice feeder roots with it at collection being in a boggy marsh yes??


cheers

i do remember qiute a few, i smashed most of them off though getting it out of the massive pad of roots that i had to cut it from...

this one took me about half an hour to get out, which is heeeeps too long for a tree this size

Hi aaron_tas,

It's been a fair while and I was wondering what you did with this very interesting material??
Would love to see it now!
Cheers, Dario.
