Well.... here's an update on that chinese elm i root "wedged".
i took it out of the pot .. and yes ... the side that is lacking growth is
the side i took the wedge from. I never even stopped to think about the
roots i may be removing...just tried to imitate what i thougth i had
read... anyway... i hosed off the clay and soil and repotted.... the rest
of the tree is growing and continues to bud nicely... hopefully the other
side will correct itself in time... there are two branches on that side
that have made it so far... (rather spindly but i will let them grow
untouched keeping some pathways open). thanks for all your advice and
input. this was definately a lessoned learned. (i love that feeling when
something finally really makes sense and sets in through experience)
