RE: Repotting Some Experimental Elm Trees

in #homesteading7 years ago

May I know what your experimental purpose is about the elm tree, it looks like nothing special from it, and it's normal. Is there anything you want to tell us. Is it about nature's ability to give life naturally, that is something we have known for a long time. Please show me the other side of the Elm tree for example about the benefits of the tree. I see that the elm trees you plant are not so fertile, whether deliberately left to languish for experimental purposes. Thank you so much for sharing the video.

Maybe there is language barrier here. It is not a conventional scientific experiment it is more of a common usage of the word. I am trying something I have never tried before and seeing what can be observed and learned from it.

What I learned is that Elms are easy to start from seed. American elms will regrow from the stump. Elms started from local seed are cold hardy in zone 3 even in pots buried in the ground. Although it's nice to have potting soil it is unnecessary for elms.
