Different climate from where it came from
Thanks for the only valid question so far!
It could easily be from somewhere where it was already going dormant.
But.
Let's not start a list of the types of fungus it has....
Easier to jot the one it Doesn't have!
Phillthy, it's ok to live up to your name.....
But....
Well first....
These fucks at my work are beating the shit out of the roof joists we are installing....
I told them I swear they would have Edward Scissor hands put their condoms on for them....
(They won't work no more!)
So....
Buying this tree...
(If with current pics)
Is like having the option of 3 equally beautiful women and choosing the one with HIV!
It's like having a pen full of chickens and rabbits and bringing home a pet fox.
It's like saying people from NJ are cooler than people from NY.
It's inviting collection killers into the garden!
Brother.....
There are folks here that have elms in better condition than that which they would Probly sell you.
This is an honest community and if you are unsure yet as to who here is best to serve your tree needs I will give you the list.
If our Number one goal here is not to END THIS BAIT AND SWITCH SHIT ON Ebay....
We are 10K+ WEAK!
@Zach Smith @Don Blackmond @Stickroot
@anyone else with a healthy elm.
@the seemingly more honest Facebook auctions.
Hell.
If I was you....
I would plan one trip to Rochester every other year....
Probly volunteer to help set up as to get supreme early picks on the sales tables.
There is NO more direct way for you to safely aquire what will be some of the best, healthiest, most diverse selection of trees in the States.
If spending Phillthy $ on a tree at all.
N o Ebay.
O ne love.
O ne Nut.
B ust it!
