Elms for Gogeerah ----------- no eating or burning please

Anthony · Oct 2, 2017

@M.Frary ,

Mike,

here is that elm I told you about. Thick trunk in a 1/3, 55 Gal. Black barrel.
Now starting training.

Also two others as a warning ----------- both out of Canada, but neither
will grow a thick trunk, even with 6 foot + branch extensions.
So make sure you got a trunk thickener type.
There were some 8 types plus these 2 back in the 90's.
Good Day

Ooooo, I like that 3rd one!
Should we all post elms here now?

Anthony · Oct 2, 2017

Yup, please feel free to do so @just.wing.it
Good Day

Wonder what's the matter with the canadians?

Alright, I got 2, both Chinese elms...though the bigger one is maybe a weird seed grown variety, or something, it has some interesting bark.
Been fighting black spot on the little one for 2 years, I think it is finally over now, seems to be growing strong.

Looking forward to some fall color. (ignore pot

)

Now I do wish the elms down here had bark like @just.wing.it 's tree.
Good Day

elms are the best - gots an american elm that grows like a weed

Anthony · Oct 4, 2017

Yes @Giga,

and the southern Chinese elm grows well down here.
Now if we can just learn to keep the branchlets from thickening so quickly.
Ruins the illusion.

I really like the bark too!
I might get another one next spring, they had a few dozen when I was getting this one.

Actually I should work on rooting cuttings skills next year instead....that's a better idea....

@just.wing.it ,

cuttings -yes - now yuh cookin with gas.

Here for Alexandra, Sorce and Gogeerah [ love your axe ]
Good Day
Anthony

Alexandra, the idea is to get the unexplored tree/shrub to a lush/healthy / full state first.
Then take away the leaves / branches to get the shape you want.
