Denny: Just for general information, I reproduce chinese elm by planting 3inch sections of root with the tops just exposed above the soil level. Keep the proper orintation tops up and bottoms down. If you take these cuttings just as the buds start to push and keep them moist you will find that you will have as many new elms as you have 3inch root cuttings. After care will make a diffrence and the resulting tree can be recognised as one started from a root cutting. This is still the best way to reproduce chinese elm. Keeping this in mind I think that you have an exelent chance for your new trees to servive.
