Hi,
I've bought this Ulmus Parvifolia for just a few € about 1 month ago, when its leaves where already turning yellow and falling (1st pic¡­ btw, I have 2 small zelkovas already and, as my balcony is rather sheltered, they stay green all year round¡­).

I did not like it being split in 3 (2nd pic): the two side trunks, were opening like a a hand or a fan, not in 3D, had no taper at all, despite a good and dense ramification¡­ though I considered it a good material to work on.

So I've left the smallest, central one, which has more taper.
Now, though it's rather bare at the moment, I personally think it gives the whole tree more character.

What do you think of it?

nice.

It would be good to try and get a branch at the bottom of each cut, to distract from the little swellings. But.. Good choice.

Thanks Leatherback.

Yes, should two new shoots appear just below the cuts, I'll definitely encourage them to grow.

Two future branches at that level would surely give a very good balance to the tree.
