Of course I see this video just hours after I pruned my Chinese Elm without really knowing what I was doing, lol.
Saaaaammmeeee!! Haha! A very useful video regardless!
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Reyansh Devin Instablaster ;)
@Aidan Ernesto I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Aidan Ernesto it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
Gorgeous trunk. Great artistry.
@jason good to see you here!
This is one of the best videos I have seen not only on a Chinese Elm, but any bonsai. I truly appreciate the common sense approach using terms that are easily understood by someone just starting with their Elm. I have bookmarked this and will refer to it often. Thank you so much,
I have two beautiful chinese elm bonsai trees that I purchased from your store. I ordered one last year but my beloved died during the winter. I don't want the same thing to happen to the two that I have now. I live in Wisconsin and we are in the fall season. The temperatures are in the 40's to 60's and winter is approaching. I keep my trees indoors with a grow light. Since I keep them mostly indoors, do I need to fertilize the trees during the winter months? If there are anymore helpful tips, I'm all ears. Thank you!
Love it! And I've said before in my videos that blue pots are sometimes overlooked but often the best for these small and pretty trees.
Great video, but I feel like it would be much easier to understand while in person. Some of the camera angles made it difficult to see in which direction some of the clips you were trying to show us. Thank you for all your informative videos you guys post!
What season did you do this? Judging by the growth it’s either late spring or late summer? A lot of videos say “I did this in late May” but that leaves me guessing. We bonsai enthusiasts around the world need to talk in terms of seasons. “During early spring budding” or “In late winter after the last frost” or “In late autumn after all leaves have fallen”.
I agree! I've learned a lot from the S. African nurseryman but there's 6 months of separation. My brain farted for a year before the realization.
Great instruction, thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Cool video you look a bit like tiger woods
Hi I was wondering if you could do a Ficus Golden Gate clip and grow tutorial.
I wish the Bonsai experts would talk more about what to do in the seasons. Should I allow my indoor tree to live as it pleases during winter and then wait to spring to trim?
Bonsai Morai is what you need. It’s some hours long videos so you’ll have to be patient and absorb all the information. But hey bonsai is a lifetime thing anyway
Nice. Can see a definite good looking bonsai in the future. Informative.
Thanks dude
Thanks for explaining the zigzag movement aim for ramification. Really makes sense now.
When do you trim? Spring? Or whenever it needs?
Maybe dumb question (new guy). Could you graft one of the cut branches in that large curve?
Very informative and instructional. I wonder if you could do a video on Chinese elm in the broom style, how to develop a broom style bonsai.
Great video and explanation. I kno i requested this a while ago and this is great . I bought the grand elm from you and its one of my favorites. The trees primary branches have most of the secondary branches growing upwards so i wire most of them down but now i have a better understanding of what i wanna do to create pads on this tree. Thanks for the video. ! Now we need a video on satsuki azalea on how to shape them from scratch.cant find one video on them. Their branch structure is alot to work with.again u teach some great stuff on here and cause of u i actually started this journey! Thanks
If I want my elm to thicken its trunk do I just let it grow in all directions and maybe put it in a bigger pot?
Great tutorial! How long does the chinese elm take to grow ?
Do you bring them inside in the winter? People seem to have different opinions on chinese elm
Hi Jason, great to see a video on clip and grow as i think there is an over use in wire used in Bonsai that you see.You do not have the problem with scarring which you get with wire. I know it does not work with all trees therefore wire has to be used.
Hi, not sure if u will see this, i have a lavender star bonsai, and im trying very hard to find content on maintaining it, bought it recently and it has been growing pretty ok. but with this clip and grow technique, when would be a good time to do it?.do i leave the bottom brunches like yours to grow long before clipping?i have a single long brunch below growing and its about 6"..plant is about 12" tall including the long apex branch that will prolly be clipped off as well, main stem is about 1/4" thick.
How do you locate branch one and two on the Chinese elm? Mine has several at the same height. Thank you
So when I’m pruning I shouldn’t cut where it’s still green? What would happen if I did cut where it was green branch vs woody?
Привет Джейсон,не мог бы ты помочь советом,мой китайский вяз,после пересадки и промывки корней от первого грунта остановился в росте и не дает почки 4 месяца.на всем дереве имеется штук 20 листьев. Пересажен в грунт акадама.заранее благодарю.
I would like to ask what time period of the year could I trim drasticly and when could I repot them. Which is the pest time period in the year?
your leaves are so beautiful and large! Is this a particular type of Chinese elm? thank you!
Isn’t that first branch on inside of curve?
Sangat menginspirai untuk saya
Terima kasih sudah membuat vidio tentang ini
It doesn't seem like a great place for a first branch on the inside of a curve.
I inherited a Chinese Elm starter kit from a daughter who received it as a gift February, 2022. It came home from college in May over watered, then went three weeks with no water, and I stepped in. It is coming back well after a few weeks of TLC. I’ve never had a bonsai but always wanted to. Would love to see a video of when to start pruning a small tree such as this. Should I let it just grow for several months (or more) before thinking about pruning, etc.
My Chinese Elm has relatively darker leaves, does that indicate insufficient sunlight?
No,just maturety. Fresh leaf should be lighter than.
What time of year can i do a trunk chop?
Same techniques apply with most deciduous? I clip and grow most of my Japanese maples this way. I’m still learning how to use sacrifice branches. When the inside leaves and branches begin to get shaded out I go in a clean it out. (Typically in late May and late August.)
Great instruction, thanks!
Just ordered an elm from you. Can't wait to have it and start the waiting process. Lol
Sooo, I got a tree from yous, and I feel I sort of ballzed it up. Good to know the trunk itself has the capacity to regenerate.
Thks For Sharing Jason You'r An Amazing Teacher! 🙌
How old is this tree? The trunk is beautiful.
About $300 old LOL
How do you get branches to grow on a stretch of bare trunk?
They just bud naturally.
dude youre a g thank you for doing this, everybody else on youtube about bonsai are no where near your talent for teaching, much appreciated
I just got mine from you guys
how often throughout a growing season to you prune like this? as often as it gets this leggy?
Is there a difference between Chinese Elm and Seiju Elm?
Thank you 🌳💪❤️
Like 👍
Hey Jason, I love that elm!! I bought one from you but I'd like that one because of the trunk 😍 can I buy it please?? Is there a way to order that specific one off the website?
Sure missing "how to" videos like this. Hope that you get the desire to do these again.
If you wire a branch, how long does the wire have to stay on?
Do you think that huge inverse taper will grow out? How about that intense wire scar?
This video will help me so much thank you!!
Is there going to be an update to this video this year?!?
Hi, would you have any tips on growing Chinese elm from seed. Love the channel.
Let's see an update! Love this tree, great video
👍👌🙂
fantastic video, i love the detail in your explanations, please keep it up. thanks
Super informative hands-on video, thanks Jason.
Thanks, very helpful
Nice work. Well presented.
I have a seedling Chinese Elm. I was wondering if you wired that trunk as a seedling to get all that movement?
I’m planning on getting one soon .
when you cut a branch that's shooting straight out, why will it grow in a zig-zag -- why doesn't it just grow straight out again?
Because the leaf nearest the cut will turn into a side branch and grow out from the existing branch.
Its gona grow straight from the bud at the end of the cut usually. So you can imagine the process of cutting and cutting it again may produce a zig zag pattern.
I just got two of these beauty's, can't wait for them to grow so I can trim them
I am very new to Bonsai. I bought a 4 year old Chinese Elm. The grower has cut all the lower branches off and only a crown exists. How would I get this tree to grow branches lower on the trunk? I have ordered products from easterleaf and really find your videos very informative. Thank you for all the great tutorials.
The branches should develop on their own with good light. It's normal to a do a trunk cut and reduce the tree. Give it a spring season to see what develops. If they do, just let them grow out to thicken. Hope this helps, Jason
