Large cuts do not callus over so place large cuts on the back of the tree or allow cuts to rot and form irregular hollows to integrate with the design.
This provides a surface for callus and hopefully root development. It helps Malus, Acer, and roses. It is also interesting to watch where roots develop on various species. If you wound, the roots will often form in a line along the callus tissue.
Root Cuttings: Ovuli are masses of callus tissue that often form at the base of trunks of older trees. They produce shoots, and if mounded with soil, adventitious roots.
Large scale pruning in spring can lead your Chinese elm to form calluses, these can be reduced by carrying our large scale pruning in late Summer or early Autumn.
more compact growth; cuttings over three inches long are very, very easily propagated, so you can start with a branch or trunk portion that is already well shaped and branched; cuttings up to at least two inches in diameter don't need to be callused; ...
Pruning : Do most pruning in spring or early summer as these trees can have a tendency to be slow in healing later in the year. Calluses can be bulky so reduce wounds properly.
