Are you interested in these seedlings? I am NOT going to keep all these. I will probably do a give-away by fall, assuming these grow well. Might just do a bit of rootwork on a few dozen in 4-6 weeks. Plant them in individual containers, and then by fall share them with people in the EU. Want to get some of these?
Post with the #gimme_some_elms, and you are on my list!
How I got a tray full of seedlings in 11 days from collecting the seeds!? Watch the video and see how I planted them, how to recognize elm seeds and what I do when they get older.
This is one of the fastest germinations of tree seeds I have experienced! In 11 days from the tree to a pot full of seedlings! Umus (elm) seeds germinate willingly, if collected at the right time of the year and can be a real pleasure to work with.
