This water-elm was a messy clump when collected last year. It's grown quickly, giving me the opportunity to do much of the basic styling this year. Next year we should get a lot of ramification and begin the refining process.
Alas, the tree was a victim of Winter 2014. Combination of snow and ice storm followed by 15F for a couple of nights, during the period of time when we were burying my mom. The trees had to take a back seat.
