Chinese elm

It was originally cut down from a large nursery tree and had a tall trunk which was layered off a few years ago.
Starting to mature now...
Unfortunately the trunk is hollow which will slow down it's thickening in some areas.

Very natural looking! How much wiring do you do at this point? Or do you mostly operate on a clip and grow method?

Nice tree, maybe you can fill the hollow trunk white cement or epoxy in order to speed the close process

Cheers and thanks for sharing
