This one was found on the side of the road. It's much older than it looks. She sort of gotten mowed over, year after year. Last summer it looked completely dead, shortly after planting. Should have taken it's picture then. Kept the soil moist any way. Couldn't resist teasing her from time to time, she responds quite well.
The guys around here, call the "Piss Elms", when they lose branch water leaks out leaving a white streak down the trunk.
