do i have any reason to be concerned??
Hello everyone,
I am in need for some general health advise from anyone who has had experience with elms. I have recently styled the attached Corkey Bark Elm (six days ago).
Before i styled the tree, the foliage was a nice healthy green. ive noticed the foliage has lightened, and some leaves appear to be a bit yellowish. ive only owned the elm for 2 months. I am unsure if the young leafs emerge a lighter yellow then green up as they mature, or if the tree is having some problems.
i have not had any experience with elms whilst in the growing season. (ilive in australia). the tree has lost 70% of the foliage from styling and has had a section of the upper trunk removed.
i have kept the elm consistantly moist over the period of time that i have owned it, just wondering if these are symptoms of overwatering. also the tree is sitting on a paved area that receives unshaded sun untill 2:30
any suggestions, advise or similar experiences with chinese elms or corkey bark elms would be very appreciated!
(it also looks worse in real life! the camera seems to make the greens greener)
thank heaps
kurt
