Sapling
I have a newly acquired corkbark elm that I bought about 6 months ago while dormant. This is a mature tree with a well developed trunk and primary branches mostly in place. In January, I repotted the tree, did some moderate to heavy pruning and the tree pushed new growth everywhere in late February.
Since that first flush of growth, however, I have not seen one single new leaf. The tree looks healthy, there are no signs of pests, and it gets a moderate amount of direct sun. Soil is not an issue, watering is well under control, and it has been fertilized with a slow-release pellet based fertilized (I know, I know, not the best).
Is this normal behavior? I have a generic C. Elm and a Seiju elm that both push strong growth all season long, but this is my first Cork Elm so I have no idea.
