Imperial Masterpiece
I bought this Yatsubusa elm last year.It was in a bonsai pot.It got infested with little honeydew excreting bugs and when my tree was being covered in fly's ,I got fustrated and put it in the ground with just weekly watering.I hope it survived the winter,Buds are starting to burst.Anyway,as you can see from the original pic,I lopped off the branch on the left and the rear branch also.I potted it in a 13" colander and I plan to let it get vigorous and grow a bit,perhaps for a hair-cut in summer.I guess we will see how vigorous it gets.What do you think about it.If it gets vigorous at some year ,If I chopped it real low would it sprout for a sumo broom design?The pic in leaf is as purchased last year.
