After acquiring this elm a few years ago i always felt it could do with a ground layer to create a nice compact multi trunk / clump style tree.
Last October it was ground layered and i managed to separate and pot the layer this weekend.
Overall i am pleased with the results so far and cant wait to see what the next few seasons bring.

Good idea + good skills = Great result.
Needless to say, you have improved this tree, I think it’s going to be a fantastic clump.

Well done,looks like a winner for the future. Great work
Cheers RodM

Im liking this a lot . Great improvement. give it a couple of years to ramify and you got a real winner . whats its dimensions ?

Definitely made the right choice there IMO, looks great as a little clump

Wow, that's fabulous! Really looking forward to watching this develop!

I have no experience with these elms but would like to know will the base throw out shoots??
Is it a 2 for 1 or does the lower trunk and roots have no viable buds to grow?
cheers

The base after being cut will push new shoots as they back bud profusely.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback.
My goal is to achieve something like the tree below -

Excellent to see (and learn) from this thread. Top stuff.
