Why are you pronouncing it “porta-kahl-yuh”??? The name has 6 syllables, not 4 (like you’re saying). And the 5th syllable starts with an R, not an L. It should be pronounced: por-too-luh-kah-Ree-uh”
Thanks for your comment. Always open to learning
Thanks again Mike ...watched both 1 and 2 on this project...and have a good handle on starting...great videos for me as Im at an intructory level in general...straight forward and informative. Cheers Steve
Great info! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed and excited to help
Great watch. l am so excited to have picked a Chinese Elm and learning they are vigorous. I am looking forward to the next chapter 😊 and learning more how to care for my bonnie elm thankyou for sharing your knowledge
Hi Lisa, Glad you enjoyed it and YES elms are one of my favorite trees because of how vigorous they are and resilient. They are so much fun Enjoy your journey and be sure to let me know when you have more questions. I plan on making a lot more videos in the spring when I'm ready to start working on my elms so stay tuned
Hi Mike, great video and introduction to cork bark elms. Thank you
Thanks Alex, I Plan on doing more videos on elms in the winter and spring when I start working on these guys.
I do think the big jin on the bottom was too big. Good call to reduce it.
Thanks for the comment.
Nice work Mike 💪👍
Thanks 👍
Wow! those roots look great, can't wait to see the follow up.
Thanks 👍
Very nice tree and I love what you did to it. I subscribed so I can see how it developes. I really don't think this tree is as bad as you feel it is. All those issues have, in my opinion, make this a very interesting tree.
Thanks Lisa, I appreciate your insights and YES please stay tuned because I plan on showing updates of all the work I've done on trees. One of the parts that drives me crazy is not seeing these trees months and years from when others have done work on them. I'll keep them coming! Cheers
Hey, great start! Be interesting to see which direction you take this tree in the future. Whn work ing fresh deadwood, the to pull individual fibres, rather than carve. It will look a lot better afterwards!
Appreciate your comments! I enjoy the art of bonsai and although I believe I'm helping inspire and teach others I'm always a student. Thanks for the tip!
Great looking tree, I'm bummed that I missed your talk at the zoo, hopefully your able to do some more soon and I have a chance to come see it. Baby jade has become one of my favorite little trees to work on in my collection. Cheers
Thanks for the reply. It was a long day of sharing our passion with others at the Detroit Zoo. Yes Baby Jades are so much fun. I'll be doing more videos on them! Cheers
Really solid video dude! Hope this isn’t rude but this particular type of bonsai is spelled “Tanuki.” But other than that great vid!
Adriana! YES Tanuki! I had it spelled right in the description, so many moving parts when I'm putting videos together I miss things. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for the compliment
Im just geting started in this journey and i really enjoy your videos, keep it up man
Thanks for the comments and glad you are finding them useful. I've been planning on doing some more educational videos so stay tuned!
Left and right side brain is a very outdated concept. Both sides are creative and analytical.
Thanks for the comments. Bonsai gives us the maximum brain activity! The goal is to move from sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system. I'm not a neuroscientist, just can remark on how Bonsai gives me balance in life.
This guy is a Tunaki master, such a trickster. good looking a tree.
Thanks, it's a work in progress. Patience and dedication
That's a great idea to widen the Nabari on the P.Afra. great video and Very knowledgeable.
Glad you liked it!
Great Tree to work with. looks good.
Thank you! Cheers!
What a transformation, looks good!! I like what you did with the Jin.
Thank you! 😊
