5 Ulmus Nire cuttings facing 5th. growingseason

Hi All

The cuttings now had a sice suitable for shohin, so I felt like potting them this year, as I want to work on the branches now....

They may go back in bigger pots for more develoment, if I am not happy after all. For now, will I enjoy them pottet, at least untill midsummer, where I expect them to be potbound, and can go back to bigger pots unharmed.






To be larger


2 trunk


3 trunk from the base

Hope you like them.
Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,

In Portugal, Nire Elms are very dificult to find. and the ones i've seen are imported.

How do you got them? by yamadori?

thanks

Hi Rui

They are cuttings from a shohin from Japan.

Kind regards Yvonne

Are they from the same shohin? do you have a photo?

Mine is here: https://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/t5977-zelcova-japanese-elm-showing-off-a-little

Hi Rui

Your tree looks like a zelkowa with big leaves.....

My tree stands 14 cm. tall, and has only very small leaves, the tree was already old, when I bought in Japan more than ten years ago.



Photo is 5 minutes old

Kind regards Yvonne

YVONNE,, Your trees are looking great !! I love the one that the cuttings came from!! nice work you do with all your trees. take care john

Sweet Yvonne!

Thanks guys

For all your nice replies

It would be of great help for me, if s
omebody could make a nice virtual of the 3-trunk, as I am not confident how I should shape the crown....direction, emty spaces, and so on.

Also a 2-trunk virtual would be very nice.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Yvonne, what soil-mix do you use? I see you have some LECA in there, thats why i got curious =)

Hi Mowgonie read this

Kind regards Yvonne

Very nice tree Yvonne.

I've never tried the Japanese Nire elm. I'll have to look for one. I like it. I grow zelkovas and Ulmus parvifolia.

What exactly do you mean by Ulmus Nire? Nire is simply the Japanese word for elm.

Hi Iris

I dont know that much about names and species.
I have pretty much up to now, been thinking this was the name of this kind of Ulmus. Now I dont know....Maybe someone can help me.

Kind regards Yvonne

I have heard it used to refer to the corkbark variety.

Hi Lordy

I dont see any corkbarkdeveloment on this specie.....I have a such, and it creates corkbark all the time, so I guess I know what it looks like...it must be a something else

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi all, its called Ulmus parvifolia 'Nire', Nire is japanese for elm no more no less.

Peter

I've heard of it called nire-keyaki. I think that it's is an old Japanese common name for a form of Ulmus parvifolia. It could be "Ulmus parvifolia var. nire".

Ulmus parvifolia 'Nire' sounds good. I agree then.

I wish I could find my Hillier's book but I can't locate it but I'll look it up.

Hi Gary

I "buy" this name, as the story sound good..... untill someone give me a better option.
I hope you find the book...still curius.

Kind regards Yvonne

Unfortunately, Hillier does occasionally contain errors.
What you have is cork bark Chinese elm, Ulmus parvifolia 'Cork Bark.' This is the registered cultivar name. You sometimes see it labeled "corticosa" or "suberosa," but those are invalid synonyms. With any mutation, different specimens may exhibit various expressions of the gene. It is still unmistakably 'Cork Bark.'
Forget "Nire." It just means elm.

Hi Iris

I already gave another person this answer...and I know what I talk about...I know corcbark habits, they grow in wings. There must be a another name. The rough bark on the two first came bacause of the tecnik I used. Look at the other plants please. No cork

Kind regards Yvonne

A search on google throws up many references to Ulmus parvifolia 'Nire-keyaki' although there is quite a duplication of the exact same information which makes me think there has been a lot of cutting and pasting going on from one original source. And since that seems to be Wikipedia I am instantly wary.

I am too far out of the loop these days to know who maintains the definitive register of plant names. The Tokyo Code and the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants spring to mind.

What we shouldn't do is just make names up - that is why there was a need for an ongoing classification and list in the first place.

Hi Fiona

You are right, and it is interesting....The name Parvifolia, is probably the closest we come to the name of my tree. Maybe. I just know corkbark is it not.

Let us see if other suggestions come up.

Kind regards Yvonne
