Muranaka Cork Elm

[jquast]

This is a small Cork elm that I purchased from George several years ago that I have been developing. It has come a long way since I purchased it and still has a ways to go but it is one of my favorites.

Maybe this will work.

From the back you can see where I made my chops to get taper into the trunk.

It is actually on the smaller size for me. It is four inches at the base with a total height of 12 inches from soil to current apex.
