I seldom post many pics of my trees, but I was enjoying the clean up of some deciduous trees as I just put them in storage for the winter. And I am feeling more outgoing lately I will include some before shots eventually.
They have not been trimmed for awhile, as I normally let them just grow for the fall in order to build up strength. I will also include some overwintering routines and lessons learned.
First, I overwinter in an unheated garage, which I have the mixed blessing of great insulation. If I do nothing it will stay at 45-55f. So, I use a high powered exhaust fan and a lower powered intake fan all operated by a plug in greenhouse thermostat. When it hits 40f they turn on. When it gets back down to 35-ish they shut down.
Winged elm..34 inches tall...been in a box 2 years. I collected this 3.5 years ago in central Oklahoma and have grown every secondary branch in that time.
Another winged elm, that had almost no branches 4 years ago. It was collected in Oklahoma also and has a great hollow. It's in a very old "Tokoname" pot.
