Hey - Mr Beard!

Good job on this elm mate. I remember the original posts of this tree and wondered what you were going to do with it - I think you've definitely made the right decisions here.

I'm really impressed with the 'feel' of this tree - very reminiscent of so many field trees in the UK - very naturalistic, I can almost see farmer Giles driving his tractor round it!

A shallower cream pot would really suit this later, but going for a deeper pot now will give those elm roots plenty of room to grow this season.

Regards,

Fish.
