The crowds know where the Fine Arts are.
Robert Gustafson, Jr.(no relation) has this Corkbark Elm with a delicate canopy of branches and leaves.  It was grown from a cutting struck 8 years ago and has been in this pot about 3 years.

Also the design of Robert Gustafson, Jr., this was purchased as a one gallon-size specimen three or four years ago from Jim Barrett's in California.  The top was cut back to develop the taper.  Approx 8" tall from soil line to top.  Trunk at base approx 1-1/8" in diameter.   Width of tree approximately 8".  Pot is 6-1/8" x 4-3/4" x 1-1/2".
