This is my Catlin elm over rock. I cut off almost all the branches two years ago to try and make a more naturalistic style. This tree had horizontal branches before but they thickened up very fast. The tree didn't look so good, sorry no before pic, so I started over. Here it is after a season and a half of growth. I kept the odd looking turn in the apex because everyone said to cut it except Al Keppler. I don't know, he may have just been kidding. I still need to cut it back a bit, any suggestions ? Third pic is the Sara Raynor pot I picked out for this tree which is a little wider and flatter. The sprouts on the right of the tree are 4 root cuttings, roots trimmed that I planted which then sprouted leaves. I plan to train at least a couple of them into miniature versions of the parent tree. Maybe they can stay, maybe not. Thoughts ?
