Chinese Elm Cutting: September 2024 update by michaelruschena Posted on October 6, 2024October 6, 2024 This Chinese Elm was doing very poorly in 2023, and got a repot. 18 months later, and a winter and a spring. I haven’t don any maintenance. I might need to get into those lower buds soon. Obviously, the other side. This top view shows that it’s still on the narrow side. I should work on getting more of a canopy going. Not a great job on that wiring, to be honest.
