First design of a field grown elm pre-bonsai

- An older stock plant from a field grower is trimmed focusing on taper and future development. This is not a Chinese elm which is most often found in bonsai but a cork bark elm. Basic principle are the same. Design choices are discussed and I show you how I handle extreme trunk-budding.

Hi All, this is of course a first step in developing this bonsai. I am sorry about my cold when I was taking it. I do hope you can understand my stuffed nose talks! Please drop me a line what you think of the video and how you wish this tree to develop!
The video is off to a slow start. Do use the chapters to step through the sections of interest!
I would like to see you try the $50 bonsai challenge. 😁
@@nickybeingnicky What is the 50 dollar bonsai challenge?
@@GrowingBonsai you buy nursery material, soil, and pot for a total of less than $50 to make into a bonsai.
Nigel at The Bonsai Zone was just challenged by another channel to do it. He used a Mong Aralia.
@@nickybeingnicky haha, sounds like a video I am already making. I am taking a 12E gardencentre plant into bonsai over a 1 year period.
I loved the tree and it was great to see you using the hybrid cutters!👍
I really like this tree. Good job my guy. You're well on your way to competing with the big bonsai channels.
Hey Nicky, thank you so much! I hope I have a niche of short, condensed information videos. What channels should I watch, what can you recommend?
very clear, great tutorial Jelle. And I'm sure that elm will look fantastic in the future.
Hi Dave, thank you so much. Still a long way away from your great videos though :). I am sure this tree will return to the videostream!
Great job as always Jelle. 👍 A really nice find. Good job with the cuttings too.. I saw lots of green.
Hi Jay, yes, the cuttings are doing great. I have maybe 3 that do not grow, so quite happy with that outcome!
I like that tree! The three branch problem seems to have an obvious solution for me. This wants to be a two trunk elm, I would lose the thin branch. Beautiful material and great video as Always Jelle.😀👍
Thank you Magnus! Do you grow Elms up north? I have seen quite a few of your videos but not Elms I think?
@@GrowingBonsai unfortunately no. The dutch elm disease has wiped out 75% of them and the ones remaining is protected (and proboably sick anyway). Import of new stock heavily regulated. However, I have one of them "zelkovas" in my collection.😀👍
Nicely explained Jelle. I have an air layer similar to this so I'm looking forward to the growth next year.
Looking forward to hearing how it goes Peter!
Great video, very informative and interesting. I'm one day hoping to find an elm like that in a hedgerow near me :)
Hi ROb, finding this in a hedgerow would be really cool. I have some friends in the UK that find this sort of stuff in hedges. Here I do not have such luck and I decided to buy this plant from a bonsai field grower nearby!
What a tree.....great base. Thanks.
lovely isnt it? It cam from my favorite fieldgrower here i. the area. I really need to stop going there ;)
Nice work, great tree 👍
Thank you so much!
Very cool material, nice tips also.
Good to hear! If I do a follow-up, what do you think shoul be in there?
✂🍃💚👍pruning proces progress very good bonsai
Ohw, that is so kind! Glad you liked it!
Thanku Jelle, very clear n instructional, the chapters are very useful too.New growth already 20cms n we’ve gota wait til Winter?!! You’re a tease, you know that⁉️God bless you 🙏✝️ ✌️🇺🇦🌻✌️
everybody loves a tease. Just sign up for saturdays release of my discovery of how to get blue maples!
Haha! How does one sign up? I ‘attended’ Magnus’ last premier n it didn’t feel any different from just randomly watching a vid ✌️
@@gayefanner731 The main difference is that it goes online in a live mode, with the author present and answering questions, and all watch the video in parallel. So the first 15 minutes all watchers are in sync.
Well I never! That wasn’t my experience at all. Perhaps it’s coz I’m blundering along with an old iPhone n dunno what I’m doing. I did contact Magnus in advance re., time difference between our 2 countries, but hey ho that’s the way the cookie crumbles! 🤷🏼♀️✌️
Hi Gaye. You didn’t actually attend the livestream with Magnus. 1. When you see a notice of a live stream, the date and time it shows you is always YOUR time. No need to convert time etc. 2. It helps to click on the … and turn on the Reminder. TH-cam will pop up a notice and email you. 3. When the video starts, make sure you click on LIVE CHAT. That’s,where you can chat with everyone and ‘attend’. Good luck. I hope to see you at future premieres. 🐦💙
Very neat video. Thank you
thank you for dropping by!
Thank for sharing, I like it 👍❤️❤️
Thank you so much. You might notice that the tree is just waking up in the video. I can straight away make a new one because the branches are some 20cm long already! But I will do a series of takes over the year, and post a new one in winter!
Woow... Beautifull bonsai bro
:) Thank you! I am soo looking forward to this developing!
This Elm has tremendous character. Very Dark end of the "Fairytale Tree" spectrum.
What is your proposed front?
I believe there are two reeeeal sweet ones.
Very good information about early structural pruning Ulmus in pots, as well.
Thanks!
*Laughs like a sponge*
Well spotted! Like many sponges, this tree has 2 possible fronts. This weekend I hope to do the first woring on the tree and will then jave to pick one! Hope you enjoy this channel, and look forward to see you uncloak here more often!
Hi Jelle. 65! Have a good Premier today, sadly I can’t make it but next time when you’re 2K...! God bless you 🙏✝️ ✌️🇺🇦🌻✌️
I CANNOT believe how these subs are growing the last days. It is really mind boggling to see so many people interested in my content!
Silly boy! 😘 ✌️
crazy, i am telling you! 64
You have earned n deserve every sub.! We love you and your content 😍✌️
@@gayefanner731 royal plural Gaye? :)
Hi Jelle great videos you make love them,you give great information,now a question what is the best time to collect elm seeds,early fall mid fall or late fall,I have picked some today but they are still green is it ok to plant at this stage. Thank you jelle keep up the great work
I would collect the moment they start falling of the trees naturally. Then they are ripe and as fresh as they get
You said this was field grown? Are you able to share the place where this came from? Great material!

Wait wait wait, that jelly on the bottom of the cutting is a _good_ thing? I always thought it was a sign of algae/rot so I'd scrub it off. No wonder I've had such rubbish time with cuttings...
specifically with Elms I find it helps to soak them and have the jelly develop, yes!
@@GrowingBonsai Interesting! It's there any other species or genus you find this to be the case with?
@@abydosianchulac2 This is the only genus (ulmus) where I am aware of this happening.
