Hey hacker, Some nice lines in a few of those mini's mate, maybe you should get back into them again. I am nicknaming the stone pine 'Scissors' :lol:

The little elm is fantastic, it gives me some ideas for a pair of seiju that have come up in the garden where a bigger one was dug from last spring. :tu: I know its 15yrs ago but how long did it take to grow from the cutting?

Hi Matta

Elm's grow very well from root cutting's & that one I think was 2-4 year's in the making, I have two more from that same bunch one that I posted a 3 or 4 week's back as a raft style that had just been sitting around in the same pot for about 7 year's or so with not much work on it. But have just spent a few hour's on it & will repot it this winter & will take some more root cutting's & as you can see if you pick the right root's you can get some very nice movement right from the start & another one that I'm just getting back into shape which is an informal upright at the moment but might just end up as a root over rock but will make that discision when I go to repot, that one also has some nice root's that I'll save as well, So best you give it a go & keep me posted just pick the most narllyest root's you can find also they are very soto bend into any shape you can think of

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

I problem I see with the 2 of the figs is the Reverse taper in the trunks. I think you will need to Layer them at the thickest spot to fix it :-) :lol: :lol:

Great little trees Hacker. The good news is that it is reasonably quick and easy (in relation to larger trees) to put another collection like this, together again. These materials are also very readily available. :tu:
