Hi All.

Just thought I should post this pick of a stump I pulled from the ground on one of my recent jobs of this Celtis. I am unsure of the difference between C. australis and C. sinensis so I cant confirm the species.

Anyhow there was no special treatment here as I am always very time poor and I figured these things grow like weeds so at worst it could be classed as a rather large cutting. I am not to bothered if it fails however, if it suceeds then maybe I will have the start of a half decent tree. Its probably about 250mm across at the base.

Fingers crossed.

What, didn't you want the rest of the tree?

Gahhhh That's so funny

PS. Nice score Squizz, next summer pick a leader and wire to place nicely, then let go mad for a few years

Thats the plan Ken thats why I took the existing leader off. It just had no character. You know what I mean! It just looked like a boring old full size tree.

A muscular little stump Sqiz. Nice to see what will happen with it.

Bit of growth,

It would seem these are as tough as nails

Cheers

I've got this big elephant foot in a pot. I will be working on some styling in the coming months so thought I should get a photo up of where it's at now. Note the wire cutters for size reference

Thanks for the update. It is good to see how trees progress.
