5 tree elm group on rock

yesterday i had a bit of free time so i decided to put some elms onto a nice peice of flat stone i found at a creek near my house.

i used a strong drill and masonry bit to put drainidge and wire holes through the rock.

a group of five elms were seperated to be re-aranged onto the stone. the trees were defoliated wired then root pruned and alowed to soak in water to recover.

the trees were then aranged on the stone slab, filled around with soil then moss was aplied. it was then watered in.

looks like a good start there, nice job. i took the liberty of lightening up your pic for you, i couldn't really see it all that well, did it for myself to see it. i also enlarged it a slight bit.
