Very nice.
Do you have updates and those 2 trees airlayed from the same tree?
i forgot about those guys. the small one rooted, but i didn't like the way it looked and tossed it. the larger of the two made it to 2020, but got tossed because i didn't like the way it looked.

Looking good, Darth. This has a bright future. Let it grow completely unchecked for the remainder of the year and possibly next. You'll have to grow out big leaders to heal those large chops. Could be a great tree in 10 years or so.

i had plucked some leaves covering the trunk earlier in the year just in case any more buds wanted to pop

What are those jagged growths on the new branches? That almost follow the branch along like a long fin. I see that on some 1-2 year old sweetgums I’d like to yamadori on my property but I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be there or if it is fungal or something?

yeah, it's just corky bark. probably why they call it winged elm. all the sweetgum in the woods around my area do ths same thing.

I'm going to try a thread graft when spring rolls around.

still only a few roots coming off the trunk, but they still populated the pot. screwed to board(hope he likes ceder), cut under callus, zipped to colander.
