2. How to judge

Do not soak the piles under the elm tree in water. Because the elm tree likes dryness and fears moisture, and when dug out from the hillside, most of the energy of the roots is repairing wounds and cannot absorb water, so there is no need to soak them in water. You can apply wound healing agent or beeswax paint to the wound to allow it to heal. Soaking in water will cause the wounds of the tree stump to become infected with bacteria and not suitable for healing. If the growth condition is good, the leaves are shiny, change from light to dark quickly, the branches change from light to dark, and lignify quickly, it means that the elm tree has survived.

1. The growth condition is good. If the leaf color is glossy, changes from light to dark quickly, the leaf quality is thick, the nodes are dense, the branches are thick, the color of the branches changes from light to dark after two or three months of growth, and lignification is fast, it means that the elm tree may have survived.

2. If secondary buds can sprout in spring or early autumn after planting, the chances of survival are high.

3. In summer, no new leaves will turn yellow, and the branches will turn yellow. Will not retract. It is easy to survive the summer and can withstand the ravages of winter, indicating that the tree stump may have survived.

4. The soil in the basin dries quickly, indicating that the stump has survived.
