Very interesting progression and really stunning tree!!
I'm fascinated by that lovely autumn colour… I have two little ulmus (still much more on the mallsai side though…) but I can't get those wonderful shades: most of their leaves don't even fall - just a few of them yellowing and that's all

I have this one for a long time, and I always kept it outside. He never dropped his leaves in Autumn, only in winter, after a cold period. Only the last few years he dropped his leaves in this period, but he never coloured this way...

The photos in this topic are mixed together with another tree of my.. but here's an update from the little Ulmus.... now 25 years in training.

hmm, some photo's in this topic are a bit changed..... Anyway, today i did some changes on this tree: the lower branches are places a bit more down, as an old tree has... in 2017 I made a virtual future design for this tree:

This is the tree now:
