found one

[Dave E]

found a Hokkaido elm,small but it was a good price.
think i need to slip pot it into something a little bigger right away.

 

[Dave E]

btw thats a pencil for leaf size referance

 

[sorce]

Jesus!

I was like.....maybe that's a pencil....
Pretty sure Dave E knows not to leave such a glare on the tape measure!

Is there a trunk so thick in there....or a bunch of skinnies?

Looks like it can develop well.

Crazy small leaves right?
Glad you got one! We can kill them together! Mine is still green, and I don't think 100% happy. Maybe 80%..eh!

let's have a contest,who kills there's first-you down

i cleared away those weeds growing around the trunk area and there's a nice phat trunk-close to an inch

 

[sorce]

I want to see it!

I can't join....as I may have already won!
Lol!

Just don't look up any old threads on them! Very disheartening .
Or.... A lot of problems to solve!

Let's see that HUGE trunk!
HUGE, because mine is half that size and it looks BIG!

What makes you think you need to slip pot it into something a little bigger?
What are the white chunks laying on your soil?
Are you keeping it outside?
I know you are the guy that's supposed to have questions right?
These are the kind of things that will need to be asked in order to help.
These are cool little trees and are tougher than they look.
Brittle,so its hard to bend branches unless you catch the shoots before they harden off. Clip and grow methods work very well for styling.

I'm going to look for one of those in my yard .... maby I can find one to dig up in the spring.

 

[Nwaite]

Oh and I would also like to see your trunk there sweet checks!

I'm pretty sure Dave is a dude! Dude!
I don't even like to be called sweet cheeks. And as people know I'm a pretty sweet fella.

why i think it needs a bigger pot-the pot seems too small-there's room along the sides of the pot to grow but the roots are exposed on the surface and are above the pot-i think it needs something deeper.

those white things are perlite.
i've researched these and don't have many questions right now-but i'm sure i will.
i'll take any advice you have

sweet checks

Pretty sure he meant Checks!
That's what his mean wife calls him now that his lazy ass finally got a job!

[M. Frary]

I would wait until spring if there is room. Just cover those surface roots up better. Sounds like it was repotted this year sometime.

 

[Dave E]

here's the trunk blown up it looks like a cluster like you said sorce,but it looks and feels solid.

There's a nursery with probably 20 of these at it and I didn't pay much attention because they looked like clumps, I may have to go and look again.
