Cork bark elms

Here are two of my other Cork bark elms. Worked on them a bit last weekend and cut them back again to start working on ramification.

This is a Shuho. I bought this through Peter Tea when he was in Japan. Just shortly after purchasing it, Peter wrote about Namako pots and this pot was included in his write up.

I like his namako glaze. I was surprised how thin it was in person, but it sure looks rich.

This is a definately a special pot that gets lots of comments. I purchased three pots and when the box came it was damaged and I could hear that there was a broken pot inside. I was praying that it was not this one and was fortunate to find that when I opened the box that it was a pot that was easier to replace and not this one.

My bad, this is actually a Ryoukumisai-harumastsu and not a Shuho. One of the other pots that I purchased through Peter was a Shuho.

Didn't get much color on my trees this year except from green to brown however this one gave me some yellows with a bit of red mixed in.

If I could double or triple like a tree I would. Those yellows are about that we'd expect from American elms here... I too like that pot.

You seem to be facing the same challenge I have with mine - keeping moss off the bark.

It is a constant battle and I use tweezers a few times each year to pick it off. Need to try a diluted vinegar mix to see if that can keep it under control.

i have the same problem. Tweezers, vinegar or tree bark cleaner. Don't know if the last one is available for you? The problem is in summer i don't see my trunk and i forget to spray preventive.
