This elm caught my eye in the woods, mostly due to its bark, but it has good taper and nebari (my opinion), not perfect of course.... left it a little high, but I think it could be a good shohin style. not sure which kind of elm it is, maybe someone can comment there, im thinking and hoping its an american, but it could what i refer to as "the red kind", with red bark on young wood. anyway,I didn't get a photo showing what I did to the roots.. cut them back pretty hard. I think when it comes time to repot I can bring it up out of the soil and it will have a cool looking root spread. maybe stick a rock on the back side or if a new root doesn't show
