 New This old, large Chinese Elm stands 26" tall and is 4" at the
buttress. When it
first arrived at our nursery it lacked vigor and had really gotten leggy.
The previous owner became less interested in this tree and the lack of attention
was evident
We repotted it immediately, lightly pruned and fertilized to encourage back-budding.
It worked. This tree is full of buds and shoots and the branches can be chased back
this growing season.

Never wanting to misrepresent material, here's a shot of some cool
roots, but several
garish pruning scars. Were I keeping this tree I would get out my carving tools and
hollow this trunk eliminating the scars and giving the lower trunk more taper. The
carving would also add years of implied age.

An alternate view to help you see the future rebirth of this tree.
Old, larger material
like this is hard to come by. This natural style tree could be back to shape in just a
seasons. I always love a carving project! $350 plus packing and shipping.
