Hacking on a Winged Elm

[Hack Yeah!]

I did a little work on a winged elm today. It was collected in Feb, 2019. I don't remember if I grew it in the pot for a year and then put it in the ground or straight back into the ground. I dug it up this spring and placed it in an anderson flat. Today I did a hard cutback and will for some more back budding. It could've been chopped lower and maybe I will reduce it further next year??

Here it is when first collected, it's the bare stump in the front.

Id probably chop lower yes and maybe stick back in ground.

Repotted into a ceramic pot this season.
Roots and chop and pigeon breast don't exactly align as one would prefer so it's a little sideways. Love the pot, got it this past winter silhouette in Kannapolis. @ForrestW, www.wallacewoodspottery.com

Its a nice fit, and in a few seasons it will fill out nicely as that hole closes over. I look forward to seeing the progress-- thanks for tagging me.
