Re: My Corky Bark Chinese Elm
Wow Wee!
Ok - I want to swear ...in a good way ... but as I am on a public forum let me just say ... "This is bl@@dy amazing." Wonderful.
What great foresight you have! To dig it up and 'see'/imagine the future and then what care and knowledge you must have applied.
Inspiration squared.
Thank you and any further information, timelines (how long from root to this?), approach etc... would be appreciated.
Cheers, MJL

Re: My Corky Bark Chinese Elm
Thanks for the kind words TimS and MJL and sorry Keep Calm this was acquired legally lol
It’s nice to know that all the efforts and time have yielded results that gets acknowledged by my co bonsaist..anyways, this journey took around 5 loooong years hehe I was too cautious and did not want to try any ambitious move. You know… when you haven’t got that much trees you don’t want to lose any

Re: My Corky Bark Chinese Elm
Fantastic effort for 5 years! You can certainly be proud of your work on this!
I'm the same, quite gentle on my advanced trees for fear or setting them back, maybe too gentle sometimes. I'll have to post up a photo of mine at some point for ideas on where to head with it. Trunk is probably similar thickness to yours but nowhere near as much development or beauty in it, mine is quite 'formal upright pine' at the moment and i'ts annoying me next to a very naturally styled non Cork Bark Elm.

Cheers TimS! Show us your pines Pines are very tricky but you can get away with formal upright anytime.. just need to know your actual tree more when it comes to decandling and so on to have the beautiful pads going love working on them as well but i'm like extra gentle on them compare to decidious i'm still learning

Re: My Corky Bark Chinese Elm
I'll put some photos of my Corky Bark Elm up when the leaves change colour or once they've dropped in winter for some styling advice for the future direction. I prefer natural looking trees like yours so the formal style of my elm kind of annoys me

Re: My Corky Bark Chinese Elm
Sorry TimS.. I've misread your post and started talking about Pines lol- putting movement on decidious trees esp thick ones will need to be cut back and grow again but there's always some drastic ways you can try hehe
