A couple of chinese elms outa leaf. The root connected elm is one of my favorites. Picked it up off a gentleman unable to care for his trees 3 years ago. Think i paid $40 at the time, height 27cm, in a few seasons that ramification will be nice :tu:

A little shohin elm from a member here. Went backwards in rocky for reasons unknown seems to be doing much better here. height about 14cm.

A stout trident before pruning im thinking of making a side the front which i think will work if i remove a forward facing low branch. will have to look at the tree somemore and think , the taper is much better and the root spread is ok would need to graft some front roots , the tree would be turn more to the right if i went this way.. Dont have a front after pruning pic at present i somehow forgot to take one :palm: get one this week
