I found a little Elm growing close to my house about 5 years ago; It had leaves which were almost yellow - some even appeared varigated.
So I planted it into the ground to grow for a couple of years.
But it didn't grow; it stayed small and compact, with tiny little leaves.
Other Elms I'd collected grew 2m (6'6") in the same period.
So I took it out of the ground and put it into a bonsai pot so I could keep a good eye on it. Here it is before leaf break at the end of March 2005 - maybe beer is the answer...
