Default [IBC] Chinese elm wintering

Dan

Please remind us where you live and where you normally keep the tree.

A couple of ideas.

If Elms are over watered they will drop leaves and keep trying to grow
new ones.

If you let it dry out some, it begins to heal itself.

I think this is what happened to your Elm.

Some Chinese Elms here in warm Florida never really lose all their leave.

If you have a sunny location indoors, with good air circulation, you can
over winter your tree there and then maybe next season (Fall 2006) you can
allow a normal dormant period.

But, please don't over water.
