English field elm, after & before by Harry Harrington. Here's Harry's caption... "... before and after images of my Ulmus minor/English Field Elm Bonsai. The 'before' image was taken in 2006, a couple of years after I had collected the tree and while I was still grafting in a few roots at the base. Height 27"/66cm, trunkbase 9"/22cm in diameter. Collected in August 2004. Pot by Victor Harris of Erin Pottery."
