Here is a couple of shots of an elm tree from "my neck of the woods" its a small but fairly old campher down elm...spelling probly incorect... they are far and few between here. Iv been looking for a place where i could perchase one for my property. I guess it just a tree im very intregued by, it is a grafted tree (rootball to stump) talked to the owner yrs ago when i did r.o.w. work in the area and he said the tree was there 45 yrs ago when he bought the place and hasnt realy changed since nor grown very much. if any one out there knows alot obout them i would love to hear some input thanks.

What an interesting tree.

Sort of looks like a big bonsai.

I googled some and found plenty of pictures of them, I suppose all you'd have to do is crown lift them if you wanted to get underneath.

Is there that much snow around still where you are?

I live right on the shore of lake superior so we only have about 2 feet.but if ya get away from the big lake there is about 3 to 4 feet on the ground in places. we average about 200 to 250 inches of snow fall a year here so it has been a bit mild this year, although we still have march and april and part of may to see snow. so theres more to come!! although its been cold highs in the 10f..-15c warm spell this week tho suposed to be in the 30Sf 0s c it'll be nice working weather.......best of all no bugs will be out

skeeters and black flys will eat ya alive in the spring here thy will just about drive ya nutz
