[IBC] Seiju Elm
Seiju is only slightly less forgiving than Hokkaido
elm. You can make a cutting from the branch you remove. If you want even sized branches in the "right" locations, you can cut off all the branches and start over. This elm will sprout all over the trunk and you will have a multitude of tiny branches to develop. These tiny branches on a large trunked tree, give the feeling of greater age. Best wait until the tree is dormant to cut off brances. Kitsune Miko --- Iris Cohen wrote: I have a Seiju that is several years old and doing fine. However, the second branch up on the right is too thick, especially near the base. If I just cut it off, it will leave too big a gap. If I cut it off and leave the branch collar, will it grow a new, thinner branch in due course, or will it be too thin compared to the branches above it? The rest of the branches are about right.
