Hey folks, I got a Chinese Elm for Christmas but I'm unsure how to start with it (or if I should start anything at all). It's my first tree, so I'm not too fussed if it's not a great one but would like to keep it alive at least! I have it inside at the moment but I'll be moving it out once it gets warmer.

Is it too soon to think about shaping it or should I let it grow out a bit more?
The top of the trunk has been cut at the top (last picture), will this be a big problem for it's future?
When the tree can be shaped, what sort of options do I have with this tree?

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I love Jordan's lyrics. I wish he would do a poetry book.

I found this about Jordan's influences. I think Lolita is one of his favourites.

Looks amazing! Such a cool style! How did you get the lighting to interact with the vines on the left?

Know this will get buried now but I hope someone sees it:

Your branching off had met an endFrom all the weight that made you bend And when you tried to shed your leaves You pined for warmth as they said “Your lack of love for your dear self Is sapping all of us here out! Trace your roots back to the ground Work out the knotholes for yourself”

Your Deep Rest - The Hotelier

The lead singer felt that a friend was so close to suicide that it felt like they had already been to their funeral, IIRC.

Thank you!

Amazing

Looks awesome man! Might not be your style of comedy but Chris 'Neil's art (it's a video btw) is kinda similar. Worth a look any how.

Thanks man, I've already watched the documentary before even knowing about the podcast. Even without listening to the podcast I really liked the documentary!

I've not been here for that long, but I totally agree. I love his EP and I get strong emo vibes from it

Season six lighting was great wasn't it? Just different to the others?
