horizontal elm over rock

Hi IBC friends, this elm wants to be bold someday despite its lack of whatever character.



the raw tree




the elm holding on to the rock well. i removed most of the big roots, and keep just two primary roots one for the front and another one at the back to clasp the rock. keeping most of the hair roots of the two big roots.



some detail, the powdery brown color at the base is my favorite fertilizer for root development...natural bat guano/manure.

Is the tree in the first picture the same tree as the second and third photos?

Rob,

yes Rob. the first pic is from my old files taken some time ago. i have several of these type of elms though, together with my "s" c. elms which i got in same batches.
