Wow that’s some heavy work on the zelcova tree but it will pay dividends over time to make quite a special broom style tree in the future, broom style is not as easy to accomplish as people think but done well they are great styled trees. Look forward to see it develop over time.
I also have a blackgum for bonsai. They have great looking bark as they get older. I dug mine up despite people saying they really don't transplant, but mine survived, though it is only 1.5 inch wide trunk. Good luck with yours 👍
chinese zelcova i never heard of yet(ive had a few chinese elm tho). i like always learning new things with this art form. hope to get my first japanese zelcova this coming spring. thanks milton! might go for the chinese one too. like poke'mon gotta collect them all ikyk lol
Hello, i am a beginner in bonsai. Thank you for the video. I’ve killed a few trees associated with repotting. Most youtube channel and bonsai care instruction recommend time of repotting in spring, i am seeing you working in Fall/winter. Can you explain more?
Spring is definitely the best time…that’s why bare root trees are only sold in spring. On the other hand, you can repot at any time of the year if you balance the root loss with a reduction of the branches. I am careful with that and therefore repot any time of the year. :)
Nice beginning to this tree. What do you have planned for the old cuts? They will probably never heal over as they are and will most likely not improve the looks of the tree. Unless you chisel them out which would look amazing in a few years.
@@bonsaiheirloom I don’t understand your answer. Hollowed out they would look natural, but as cut off stumps they won’t. Do you have plans for the old cuts?
Question for you sir- what species would you suggest to work on if my only growing space is part sun to almost shade area? Junipers seem ok so far, my Japanese maples thrive without so much direct light and cotoneaster, but looking for other species to add.
Most trees can grow in light shade. Japanese maple for sure…Juniper and pine to will do well, but just not as vigorous as with lots of sun and lots of water. Almost all trees in forests start with being in the shade!
I would like one. When is someday? I have been waiting months. I have been to your website and there is nothing available. Am, I missing something? I emailed you about your scissors and air layering a California Oak, so far no response. Are you open for questions?
Lovely structure on that.
Such amazing potential in that tree. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Glad you see the potential too!
I look forward to see your next process
I’m excited to watch ! Toby from snowy winnipeg !!
Thanks for your support, Toby!

I will be doing progress updates in a few months!
nice selkova
Great tips as always! I'm about to start my first broom style. Super video! 🤩😉
You can do it!
The color is amazing I've never seen one of those before very nice ...I'm working with a black gum tree that in the fall turns a nice bright red color
Sounds lovely!

Looks natural over time, wouldn’t it?
