Justin,
Elms are a bit wierd in the survial game. I got some
cedar elm roots in February or March. I cut them up
in to 3" pieces, stuck them in pearlite and waited for
sprouting. Two sprouted right away and one just
sprouted yesterday. I will wait until July before I
declare the remainder dead.
If you have roots and the leaves do fall off, check to
see if the bark starts to whither. If not, just hang
on until you see signs of bud swell.
Remember it is a tree and it will think, but
considerable much slower than you do.
