Jo, has your tree been inside the whole time?? what did you spray it with?? There is still green on it ,good sign.scrape a small place on the limbthat is the worse if green under the bark the limbis still alive..the tree needs to go dorment,elms are not evergreen.it needs to go outside but not in freezing temps.see what you find let us know we can talk again john

My tree has been inside the entire winter, although I keep it outside throughout the spring and summer. I was told that it is too cold in Wisconsin to let the tree stay outside during the winter - especially since I purchased the tree from a seller in California. I am quite certain it is dormant because it hasn't been putting out any new growth and it was shedding leaves like crazy earlier last month. I checked and the limbs must be still alive because there was green under the bark. Hope this information helps, Joe

That info is good.. keep the tree away from the heater put a tray under the pot full of gravel and water not up to the pots bottom. let the leaves fall off. when it gets warm outside watch for new buds... good luck john

I ment to say when it gets warm put the tree outside.when it does bud fertilise.you really need it to bud back on all the limbs not just the ends of them john

Now i have the same problem,,i got a new elm it is cold now where to keep it. i have 5 other elms but they are use to the cold.they are in a protected area outside..john

How cold is it?
