Hell yeah! Hell yeah!

I doubt, you are going to win the contest with it! Lol unless you played pirate on that tree!

But if the owner sees this, and posts one too, your Ulmus Karma is going to be through the roof!

Awesome Bro!

Been following this thread for awhile, why not? The beginning of Summer next week, this Hokkaido Elm is only just becoming untidy. Chinese Elms have already been clipped back 2-3 times this year. Forecast is hot and sunny, with thunderstorms every weekend. Summer down under :)

My Thanksgiving horror story!

Sounds like from now on every Thanksgiving I'll dig and bury a tree to try the method I described last year with a lilac and a mulberry.
Last year it's kinda work: my 2 trees started growing leaves in the spring when I dug them from the ground and planted them. However I didn't really took care of the lilac and it died one very sunny week (not enough water or too much direct sun) and I spilled the pot of the mulberry by mistake: it immediately start dying after that.

This year the victim is an Elm (I'll ask you to believe me on this one as one as to wait until all the leaves are gone to do the extraction). Elms seem so tough that they might be a real good candidate for this method.
The extraction went pretty well.
I had to make 2 vertical cuts in the trunk because the tree was growing close to a fence and had incorporated it so I guess a ton of carving will be needed at one point if the experiment is a success and my tree comes back to life next spring.
My only concern is that I'm not really happy with the funeral: the roots of the tree were so beg that the tomb I dug was not deep enough, a little part of one of the root wasn't totally in the ground. I covered it but I hope the depth of the tomb isn't a critical factor.

Here is a - bad - selfie taken yesterday at the crime scene :)
