Re: Chinese Elm
Image is a bit small but the apex needs to come down a bit, the top looks to young for he base of the tree!

Re: Chinese Elm
I agree with the above. I am definately NOT a fan of glazed pots on pines. . . . Why? Because thats how i have been taught.

Re: Chinese Elm
Hey Jay you must have missed the heading of Chinese Elm
I agree reduce top to a wide crown and refine the pads to be less like pads
It seems to have a great trunk and well positioned branches.

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.
