Indeed the tree looks healthier. However, and seeing your interest in dormancy all along this topic... Perhaps you might be interested in reading this thread:

It always brings a sigh of relief when the tree starts growing again! Thanks for the update.

tree is starting to look healthy again. great job on not giving up. thanks for the updates.

Thanks for the update! Well done.

Chinese Elms dont go in dormancy when trained and grow indoors. At least my is not doing that as all other indoor trained deciduous usually skip dormancy as indoor temperatures never go below point for tree switching into winter mode. I guess you were overwatering before or something else you were not doing right. Happy for your tree recovery. Cheers.
