Hi Lisa,

Most of us have experienced animal inflicted damage to our trees, but
canines are not usually the culprits. Aphids and caterpillars can be
just as testing.

The restyling by nature will probably only be a minor setback. Chinese
Elm are vigorous and tough plants. Keep your routine going. If they've
lost much branching, it'll need less water for a while.

Given a rapid repot it will probably be fine. Give it time and you might
even find that it develops as a better tree.
