I got some plants that were called Texas Elms. They
were quite pot bound. I got lots of little things
that I divided from the main plant. I got the plant
when it was dormant.

Thinking it was an elm, I did root cuttings from 1"
diameter roots. Now that the other stuff is
sprouting, I see beach leaves, not elm leaves. What a
beech.

SO............ will these root cuttings sprout or not?


Huh! I find Texan buckeye, Texan walnut, Texas ash, ebony,
mimosa, mountain laurel, palmetto, and red oak in my common
name/scientific name dictionary, but no Texas elm.

More imaginative naming by a nursery, I'd guess. Take a look at
Planara aquatica. It's leaves don't really look beechy, but it
has the "elm" name and it grows in Texas and stranger things may
have happened.
