[IBC] Zelkova
Here's one for the "Don't Get Discouraged" department:
I've been growing this zelkova for at least 20 years. When I transplanted it this spring, it looked mighty sad. March came & went. April slid by. May dribbled on. Nothing. On June 5, I saw green. When I looked this morning, It had 1/4" leaves all over it. I can't tell you how I feel ... you already know! ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Kevin Bailey++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Had a similar experience with a flowering apricot except I've only had it a year. After bringing i out of winter storage I waited for it to leaf out. It started to just last week. I'd just about given up. Now it's covered in leaves.

I always keep"dead" trees for a year says Pauline.
Me too. I call it the morgue; and it does have some surprises. Besides the zelkova, this year there was a Chinese elm among the living dead. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pauline Muth" To: "'Marty Haber'" ; Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 12:31 PM Subject: [IBC] Zelkova Hi I have two very nice Zelkova brooms....they are always the last to leaf out...has been so for the last 12 years...I always hold my breath with them. One summer one of them did not leaf out until the end of June. As a general principle I always keep apparently dead trees for a year...surprises do happen.

In Phoenix, my Wisteria was last to leaf out. My Zelkova beat it to the punch, and now it's too hot to leaf prune the Zelkova so I'm just trimming until our second growing season in Oct.
