No green under bark above 4 inch mark. I now have a potential shohin. ahh, the joys of collecting. pootsie __________________ p.s. My cat is a bonsaiTALK Master. Columbus Bonsai Society

I'm terribly upset at losing the long wiggly trunk and its gorgeous bark, wah, wah, wah! pootsie __________________ p.s. My cat is a bonsaiTALK Master. Columbus Bonsai Society

Am. Could be slippery or red elm, or winged elm. Possibly rock elm. When there were branches on it, did they have wings of bark protruding from them?

It is now Ulmus die-backus var. frustrating pootsie __________________ p.s. My cat is a bonsaiTALK Master. Columbus Bonsai Society
