Yup,
It's not in the wrong forum! This is an elm that sprouted this spring. At close to 3ft, it has grown opposite leaves up 13 nodes. Going up, Branches start after 3 leaves, with one branch, skip a pair, another 1 the other side, and then 7 branches perfectly opposite, which also branched, alternately.

So, because I really love that Maple Spruce....this is going to be styled as A Spruce Elm!

Damn I love these trees!

Pay no attention to the dead Burning Bush Stump!20150826_173825.jpg

Watch this.... !20150826_174452.jpg

Now every time Penny Lane comes into my head, it will be sung Bobby Lane, you too I hope!, and everytime I look at this tree....

Sing it! Or do I have to go to the SHOUTBOX?

Now you just need to get some jin and stripped branches in there to complete the look:)

I really am doing this. And it really is to honor that Spruce I love so much!

I've been watching this thing grow opposite for so long, and have wanted to utilize this oddity, what better way?

Thanks for dropping in!

Update!20151010_073040.jpg

From seed to a strong half inch base.
40in high.

You can't see it too well, but it's in a cut down depot pond basket.
I wire tied the top and bottom back together again for stability.
I think I cut an inch or so off.

These work really good shallow!

@koda659

That's a home depot pond basket, cut down to about 4 inches.

Unfortunately....I had to cut this thing in half.

I will continue to work this tree for my man Bobby.

@JoeR

Next year.

F next year! It's far from too late!

This thing must have put on more trunk after October 10th, I swear it's pushing 3/4in at the base.

One year, from fallen seed, to this.

Plant away!
