Ulmus parvifolia grove
Very convincing and natural. Only suggestion is when you repot them, the thickest trunk should be the one closest to the center of the pot.

nice tree, i get bored of very stylized tress. Yours is a nice break from that. Personally I think that if you able to i would repot in a shallower pot, maybe glazed but idk

Re: Ulmus parvifolia grove-6 years
this is the start of a great planting..............absolutely no need to disturb the trees to get the thick one in the middle etc just get another group of seedlings sorted out and plant them on the left. Absolutely definitely a shallower oval pot tho - but no rush, and a bit shorter would be good, or at least no taller
happy seed sowing !

This one is what it is. There is no should on this grouping.
I germinated hundreds of these seedings and had them in a bucket of water and I was root pruning them, when they were 2 yr old seedlings, I kept some but planted most of them out.
These were the cream of the crop. The tree I obtained them from was in fall color and was very purple here in WI so I knew they were hardy.
I had 5 seedlings left that I thought would look well together and I did what I call a hand-clasped planting.
I just put them in my hand bare root, and arranged the roots so they would fit together well, checked so they were evenly not evenly spaced and
put them in a pot.
I have groves that I did 30 yrs. ago where I always followed the rules and now they all look pretty much the same!
This ones gonna be different from the rest. Actually, It looks good from the back also.
It grew up in a 6", 15.24cm shallow light blueish turquoise bag pot that I've had many years. I switched it two a larger container it get a little more growth.
Who knows, maybe I'll have some time in the spring to rearrange the grove, it's been 2 years since it's last repotting so it's due.

Thanks for the comments.
I think as the years go by, it will turn into a nice grove.
I was always intrigued by the Chinese elm grove in John Naka's Vol.#1 picture plate 14. Then in Volume#2 he gives it a much needed
pruning.
This one may go that route.
Which reminds me, it's seed picking time in Madison. My son is finishing school there so a visit is in order!
