Thanks. I’m not holding my breath.Fingies crossed for you
Well I hope so. Thanks for the assurance.I think it is a sign it’s going to live. I have had trees with basically no roots left after digging, eventually pull through.
3 weeks later and there are roots. Not enough yet, but on their way.Decided to put a layer on the big elm air layer.
Since it growing like an elm should, (very vigorously) I decided to layer off the big section to the right, and made a plan for the rest of the tree, to get it closer to a desired shape.

Might someday be a nice tree(s).
I didn’t actually. I initially wanted to slip a radial root disc below the roots but had forgotten how extremely brittle these elm roots are. They remind me of styrene noodles.Did you trim it back closer to the roots?
