Thanks, I was just getting mixed responses about it. My friend in Florida said it would be too cold. My friend here said it would be fine, but he knows less than I do (which isn't a lot)... I had read it really didn't matter, but what mattered was how it was raised. If it was raised indoor, then it will need more protection than one raised outdoor... I should have thought about it, but it had to be raised outdoor considering how big the trunk is. It most likely was raised in the ground, hence I should have assumed that.

What is the best time to do some pruning and wiring on Chinese Elm's? The thing has a lot of growth on it, and I would like to remove about 50% or so. No large branches though, the thing just has some long, leggy growth on it... It is in a training pot, and I will leave it like that for another year to let the roots go wild.. I will try to get a pic up.
