Although I do ever so slightly think this may not be a chinese elm.. Its leaves and bark look different to what I know, but I dont know much about differing species... All my chinese elm are much smaller and younger.
So this is a tree gifted, in the purchase of a few other trees from Bobby.

[Taken September 1st]
All of its branches were removed by Bobby this year, so these are all new growth this year.
Has some good character from its great bark, nebari, initial bit of movement in the lower trunk and some most of the way up:

_____________________
Will allow it to grow for now, access in spring and clean up, ready for all the growth. Ill make sure to know what I want and where I want it. This is a much taller tree than what I am used to.
If you've any comments or criticisms, please go ahead. I'm looking forward to pruning and directing this one in spring, hopefully it will be vigorous and give me plenty of opportunities for a future design.
