I'll leave the backstory out because it's sorta long, but I'm trying to negotiate the purchase of this tree. I think the elm looks like it's in very bad shape. There's only one tuft of leaves on the back side of the trunk. The trunk, to me, looks like it's dying and the bark is falling off. The seller insists that they just "cleaned it up" that morning and that's why there's so little growth. My stance is that I'm really just in it for the pot and I'll be taking a chance on the tree. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm new to this forum and so far it's been great!
