Masterpiece
Just picked up this winged elm from the FB auctions. I actually got really busy over a weekend of holiday markets and forgot to bid on the tree. I contacted the seller and it was still available. This trees bark and basic shape called to me and sometimes that’s enough to pull the trigger. I figured after the busy last several months I’ve had I deserved a reward. That and elms seem to thrive best here in NM. The tree was in a bonsai seeker pot that broke during shipment unfortunately. It was packed well and I don’t blame the seller. He was kind enough though to offer a discount for the price of the pot.
I’ll need to ground layer or approach graft some roots over the next few years, and the chop site will need addressing. the existing branch structure is pretty good also and I think I’ll be able to see that more once I wore out the branches and leader. All and all I’m happy with the purchase and look forward to its development.
