A couple years back my neighbor mowed over my Chinese elm. Based on Nutters’ recommendation, I stuck 2 roots in a pot. With the hurricanes and all I promptly ignored them. Fast forward to this morning.
Planted in NAPA 8822. The roots were plentiful. Long roots circling the bottom from 2 years of abandon.
Original root on this one was way too long. I took root cutting off the base and screwed it on a plywood disc.
The other tree also had very long roots.
Took another root cutting and putting it on another base.
Top of one tree was trimmed put in a tall pot with lots of lava rock for the roots to grow around.
I also took a couple cuttings that have interesting shapes.
Started out with 2 in a pot and wound up with 6. All were soaked in a mild root hormone solution. Now the waiting game begins.
