Dwight,
There are roots in the plastic wrap but I fear not enough to support 7 foot of tree above it. In the research I had done prior to attempting this I did not see anywhere where it said the layer could only be XX inches/feet long. The Hackberry obviously did not have enough roots to sustain it's height and the Ulmus is 3 times that one.
