I acquired this ugly elm when I first started on the journey and I clearly didn't know what to look for in material.
So, skip forward a few years, it's been neglected in my garden just existing so thought I'd do something with it, besides chucking it. I think it's a Siberian elm, but could be wrong.
As you can see by the photos it's got a lot of issues. Terrible roots, reverse taper, one sided branches etc.
I just thought I'd throw the question out there for what others would do with material like this? Even if the answer would have been Chuck it!
In the end I didn't want to stick it in the ground due to lack of space and I've got a lot more material to work with so I decided to go with a raft. Maybe it will work out who knows! I enjoyed messing with it so it's all good.
Photos aren't the best, apologies for that.
