Nice work pruning this large C. Elm. Looking good. I also like the clip and grow method. Helps with the vision of a natural tree. Great work. The little tree will turn out just fine for you.
I'm just so happy that I won an elm tree from you. I know that I won't live long enough to be as fat in the trunk as this one. I'm already looking for someone to look after it after I pass in 20 or more years.
Like always good video. I don’t find myself wanting to rase a tree from seedlings but that’s just my opinion. What would be nice is to see how you choose an older tree. I generally look for trees 5 years and up. I look to see if it’s taking on the look that I want or I air layer from a mature tree. Might be nice to get your opinion.
Have you ever tried to grow a Pereskia Grandiflora (Rose Cactus) as a bonsai? It does develop a nice trunk and in the dead of winter mine is forming a bud in the north window of my basement. With your nice weather, I bet you could make a real nice tree out of one.
@@MiltonChang-ee6rq I like to look at Planet Desert for different types of succulent trees to try. Right now I have a bottle tree, native to Australia from them and just did a successful repot in December of 2023. With the low light in the basement, it is starting to grow as the sun can shine through the west window. I do not like to stay in a comfort zone so to say. I like to try new things.
@@MiltonChang-ee6rq I appreciate your expertise and your explanation of everything you do. I am no wise a bonsai expert. I wish I was! I love this art. Taking what seems to be an impossible situation and make it into something beautiful! I wish I could be a student. Thanks again Mr. Chang .
You are getting rid of your Irish Moss. Try growing it in pots and selling it for use instead of grass for a nice lawn or in spaces as a ground cover. Costs me $5 just for a small pot. Sometimes I can get the half dead ones for $1. Sometimes they survive, but that is the chance I do take. I tried 3 in the front as a ground cover and so far it is surviving. I will know come spring after the -8F weather we had. Right now 28F/-2C this morning.
@@MiltonChang-ee6rq U.S.A. of Polish descent. I just love the Irish moss for a ground cover. I had it in the yard, but with 3 dogs, it did not last. In front of the house, it grows perfect. Now to watch for the sales in the junk selection of plants not watered for more this year. Try it in a section of the yard that is in a hard to grow spot. At least you will have something green. Stay well my friend. Enjoy a cup of tea tonight.
In 2006 I acquired a cutting identified as a Yatsubusa (small-leafed) elm--I assume it is Ulmus Parvifolia Yatsubusa. After 8 years in the ground I had to dig it when I sold my house; it has been in a large training pot since 2015. Although now 6-7 feet tall, the heavily fissured trunk never grew more than 2-3 inches in diameter at the base. There is growth at the base, which could be developed into a bonsai. I am considering first air-laying the top of the tree, Do you know if this elm variety never develops the massive trunk of your Chinese Elm? Any other advice, especially about the air-layer? Your excellent video is timely for me.
When in doubt, people add chinee, japanese, and yatsubusa to the name of a bonsai tree. Given itis "heavily fissured and slow growth", it is not a Chinese elm, more likely Seiju elm a vsiaty of Hokkaido em, Valuable tree,,,.but be care of the brittle branch when you wire. Have fun!
Also can’t wait to purchase my bonsai heirloom tree!
Thank you for the encouragement. Third quarter this year!😇
Thank you for your video, its very interesting. Have a good time. Oto Fait, Ostrava, Czech republic
Hey, I am international!
Another informative video. I like the clip and grow method for many varieties of Elm. Saves getting wire scars. Keep them coming my friend.
OK!
Thank you for another great video!!! I’ve really fallen in love with the Chinese elm.
That is one of the easiest!
I’ve said this a dozen times, but amazing works as always and I cannot wait for spring to get my garden trees looking how I want. ❤️
Is there a way to contact you on Facebook? I’d like to send pictures and ask questions
Hi Jonathan, you can email me at hello@bonsaiheirloom.com. Thanks!

Are you doing root cuttings with this big chunk of roots you cut?

Are Chinese Elm trees easy to find? Do they have another name?
It's in every nursery…since it is a popular landscaping tree because it is resistant to the Dutch Elm disease…Ulmus Parvifolia is its latin name.
