So I've been told it's a Chinese elm, had it for 6years now always treated it as a Chinese elm, but I've only just noticed it's leaves are different, any ideas guys?

Also in the UK, will it appreciate finally being outside, I've finally moved into my house with a garden from a flat, so I'm sure it appreciates the outside weather more, also , top part of trunk is dead, so I've left it to not cause harm , or should I trim and allow it to regrow I guess?

Definitely it?s not an Elm.
A privet, maybe?
I would chop the dead top down, if it were mine.

A privet indeed, and it will do much better outside

Thanks guys , what would you recommend for watering habits , just moist soil, I imagine, feed once a month sound ok, I know the bugger needs pruning massively but I'm in middle of moving into house and decorating so it will have to be a little later I think.

I'm thinking privet - and don't chop that trunk, make a nice deadwood feature out of it perhaps?

Water just before it's dry. Sort of obviously, you don't need to water right after a heavy rain, but how long after that is a good question.

In my climate, I water every day in June and will continue at least into September. In August I may water twice some days. If you have hot, humid nights, you probably will have to water every day. Last night here it was 87F/30C with day time temps 98F/35C. August will be hotter and probably drier. Most civilized places aren't this awful, because no reasonable person wanted to settle here.

If you have a properly draining soil base you probably can't over water. Probably. If you see the weeds in a pot looking wilted it is probably time to water.

Water when soil is moist but not dry. That can be anything between once a month in winter to twice a day in summer. It depenfs on substrate, position, foliage mass etc.

Water from top with a fine nossle over the whole surface until there are a steady stream coming out from the drainage holes.

There are no urgent need for trimming, that can wait until you find time.

Hummm... Deadwood on a Privet will look sort of unnatural, no?

Not really - you should see my hedge!

Not really - you should see my hedge! Privet, with deadwood, and completely natural!
