When I first signed up with this forum I posted a thread asking for advice on a sick Chinese Elm.
Here it is after some good watering (got a good soak when we had over 100ml of rain come down in 24hrs) and a few drinks of Seasol.
Letting it fill out as much as possible for now.

Re: Chinese Elm back from the dead.
Good on you Craig, nice to see it back. Have you considered its styling? If you took it off at the first left hand branch and wired the branch up for a leader the tree would have some good movement. Just a thought for its future

Cheers bohidharma, I thought it was a goner for a while. This Elm is my girlfriends, she picked it out and wants to have a go at styling it (I just water and feed it). I have been trying to give her ideas but not sure how she wants it styled yet. Will wait till spring and see how its looking with more growth and see what happens from there.
