  • In this video I show you a vigorous English Elm that I have grown for the past 30 some years.
    It is a strong tree with roots growing out of the pot into the ground, I show you how I tackle this tree.

    Im from Kent originally too, another coincidence, i now live in Devon. Once again, thankyou Peter for brightening these dull hospital days. I may only have a few of commercial, grocery store braught trees in my hospital room, 2 and half years in hospital really makes it hard to make any money lol, but they brighten my day massively plus give me something to do. I plan to add many more when I can, I'd love a pine and a proper deciduous tree and the staff are happy for me to have as many as I like luckily and the ward has a small garden attached too. On another happy note my docs have said they may be willing to entertain the idea of releasing me for a few days so I can visit the nursery. My first few days out of hospital and I can't think of a better way to spend it, we will have to wait and see how my test are going forward for abit.

I won't go into detail here on the public comments but service to say it has saved me, it truly would be an honor. As soon as I get a green light for sure I will get intouch. It has turned what would otherwise be an amazing first trip out into a magical one and the offer alone has made my year! Thankyou so much. Sorry I rambled ha ha a man in his early 30's rambling on like the proverbial... Thankyou.

    Couldn't help to giggle when Peter brought the hedging shear out 😁.

      I was going to be sarcastic, but I won’t, using shears is standard, it looks brutal, but it’s the only way to create instant sharing, I’ve done it for years,then you refine….have a go, I’ve grown bonsai since I was 30, I’m now 70…..and still growing cuttings for future projects…

    Also, the Dutch have adult elm trees now, the tactic to fix dutch elm disease was to kill all the adult trees assuminghte new trees would not have the beetle and therefore the bug, didnt work, should have let the disease run and the trees that survived could repopulate.
