This is a cork bark elm that I aquired about a year and a half ago. I couldn't resist due to the caliper of the trunk. I do believe that one day this tree will be something special. At least in my minds eye I hesitated to post since it is so early in development, but I love this tree.
The first pictures show its condition when aquired and then its first styling or should I say delimbing . I started the intial carving to the hollow as well.The next shows after a years growth. Then we move into the second hard pruning this fall with the final results. The last picture on the next post is what my minds eye is seeing for this tree.
