So far I have killed every Seiju and Hokkaido I have gotten in relatively short order. But I keep trying and learning each time. They cannot stand drying out, need to be close to a light source without being burned, and they hate my cold winter's despite being cold hardy.
The latest one I have gotten is bigger than the others and I believe there are 2 separate trees growing very close together. There was many broken branches and dried out leaves. I was scared the week long transit in the mail would do it in... yes, I have seen them die from being in the mail to long.
I have since cleared the dead, cut back the old and removed the moss from the trunk. It is completely root bound and I am contemplating how best to separate the 2 trees when it's safe in the Spring. I won't be risking putting this one or the other 2 seiju elms in have in the cold. Best news so far is that new leaves are coming in
