Working on the elms/helping customers

Today I was working on finishing up the pruning on the Chinese elms. There are a few that have a very nice trunk size. I will be offering a few of them on e-bay later next year. I have had quite a few customers in the last week. Christmas is usually fairly slow for me. However, this Christmas has been quite different. I think I have had a few customers every day over the last week. I also had a few today. After the Chinese elms, I have started to work on the cork bark elms. Most of them are quite small. I have two that are huge, perhaps 3-4 inches at the soil level. I will not be selling those until next year. I have a lot of new shoots that are coming out from where I dug the cork elms last year. In the spring, I will dig out the new shoots and replant them elsewhere in the field. That will require a lot of maneuvering of the trees. The cork elms are quite popular and I need to increase the number of trees to keep up with future demand. I hope everyone is not too stressed out for the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas and a healthful and prosperous New Year!
