No, not me..

Just slip potted these 2 little elms in to the ground (yeah could have done in Spring but at least this gives them a head start and its one job out the way). The middle Elm is actually the bottom half of the BIG one on the right. They both make up my first ever tree, my cookie cutter Chinese Elm Mallsai (gotta love them!). So they are both going in the earth to put on bulk.
Ill be supplying steroids at rate that would make a body builder, jealous.

get some decorative bark to use as a mulch, will help protect them over winter and in summer will help them to stay moist in dry spells. plus looks good

this type of stuff

:p.

it’s everywhere in my garden.. that spot where the elms are is basically the only place in the garden that doesn’t have bark.. now they do.
My bigger elm in the pic also had that on it previously too.
