[IBC] son of a beech
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?

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.

Might be cedar elm (Ulmus crassifolia). The root cuttings should do
fine. Alan Walker http://bonsai-bci.com http://LCBSBonsai.org -----Original Message----- I got some plants that were called Texas Elms. They were quite pot bound.

SO............ will these root cuttings sprout or not? Kitsune I think Alan is right, you probably have Ulmus crassifolia. I have heard them called Texas elms. And the leaves do resemble small beech leaves, ie, they have the same ridging pattern. They sprout very easily from the roots as do most elms. They should have corky wings on the branches.
