Ulmus Selfie Contest!

[Wilson]

I know using a white background for photos of trees can be good, so I figured this is the best place to share a photo of my new cork bark!

New tree (Hokkaido), new selfie. I'm still waking up, today.

The backside of a recently obtained corkbark elm, grown by Randy Knight.

So I noticed buds green and about to push leaves yesterday.

A little early but I had to do it.

This is the first repot of this since collected. It too, grew these roots in rocks and dirt.

Not many or interesting photos, the lines show the individual roots that got cut, and the general bottom mass that was removed, 90%!

Keeping the surface roots a bit deep still.View attachment 69551

Pot prepped.

I chopped off a couple big roots growing down from the center.
Has a nice spread. Lot of good feeders, a good start for its new pot!

@parhamr

I had to do the look back...

The First tree here died that year....

Have a look at the Min Temp the day I repotted.

At least now I know why!

Eerie....we could be kin, it's almost a mirror. 'Cept I just cut off my "winter blankey" beard, just workin' on the cabbage patch up top. HATE HAIRCUTS.

It's all grey, it's sad.

My peepers are much prettier, however. You've got some caveman shit going on there!! 'Course, I usually got dime slots working so....whom can tell?!?!

Back in the contest. Field grown for not long enough from a cutting. But has branches where I want them. I left the rest there to grow out on tiles longer

I hear you @parhamr but currently my foot looks like something they would cut off back in the day, so I resigned myself to not sharing my frustrated mug.

And well worth it, from these pictures. Is that bottom right branch a sacrifice or will it be part of the final design?

I do like the bottom branch, but it will all depends on how I feel when it is in a proper pot. Next year it will get its roots cut down, so then we will see. Thanks for the comment!

This one just passed the ulmus salon again.

Ulmus parvifolia 'Cork Bark Elm'. This damn thing was heavy trying to take a selfie. I was planning on a repot this past spring but ran out of time.
