Chinese elm seedling

I feel like this little tree after not having eaten solid food for 4 and a half days, been on a juice fast.
This was the 4th an extra from Mr. Nature, who as we had some confusion from my order from etsy included this little one as a bonus. It came with hardly any roots just a couple of hair width 1/4 long feeders so was skeptical of its chances but after a couple weeks and all its leaves falling off a bud looks like it will sprout leaves. A real survivor these Chinese elms prove to be. Maybe i should not start counting my chickens until it is out of the woods.

Three Chinese elm tree seedlings from Mr. Nature via etsy They arrived bare roots 6 to 8" tall from Florida. Sent Ups express took 4 days to arrive, as it is june/july they came green and moist wrapped in plastic moist newspaper in a small tube, all seem to have made the transition to rich mulch and sand mix. Mr Nature sent me an extra one with very little root it's leaves fell off but it may come back. According to some research these elms are resistant to the disease that has decimated the American elm. They are extremely hearty enjoy full sun and are drought tolerant. Plan to plant 2 out side and keep one in a container. They join 17 other bonsai and small trees in my brooklyn collection.
