Thanks for all of the kind words, folks. Adam, good luck with your elms. They grow fast - which is a blessing and a curse; you can get a nice tree in short order, but if you neglect them for even a couple of months, you could have major problems.

Tony, thanks for your observations. I've considered your suggestion for a while and it does present a problem. The first R.H. branch is just about level with the first L.H. branch, creating a bit of an eyesore. Right now, their respective size difference mitigates this problem somewhat. I've either got to keep them at sigificantly different sizes or eliminate the first R.H. branch in favor of a new bud a little higher up. Only time will tell which will be the best solution. Thanks for looking!

Kind regards,
