Got 4 clearance Japanese Elm today from our local garden center. $10 each, I've spent $40 on worse things. I've been wanting to plant a windbreak on our north side, we get heavy winds from the north on our property. I figure why not try some $10 Japanese Elm?? They grew a weird curl like top, but I'm going to throw some t-posts in the ground, tie them off, hope they straighten out and root over the next couple years. I had no information on them size, disease susceptibility or soil preference. Just blowing with the wind, literally. Wish me luck.

Can I just cut the top out of these to correct the Dr Seuss look? I'm going to let them be for now and get settled before I do anything. But I would like them to straighten out

To me, I believe those trees will straighten out now that they can see sunlight. I would not prune them at all.

I love a discount! Sounds like a good choice.

I do Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts, and other events in OR and WA, USA.

My first bit of advice is that if you are going to be a mime, you shouldn't talk. Even the tiny ad is nodding:
