Chinese Elm
Hi guys
This is a tree that I have rebuilt over the last few years, so time for another haircut to see where we are at and some ground layers added to the side and some new front ones set up today.
cheers Anthony

Re: Chinese Elm
Beautiful Chinese Elm you have there, absolutely love the species. I am always hesitant to share my trees because I've only been into the hobby for about 4 years so its difficult to lay claim to much of the responsibility for many of my trees

Re: Chinese Elm
Thanks Tim.
Tim if I can say once the tree is in your ownership, with all respect to the previous owner that's it, yours to do what you like with it, her/his ties are severed mate. so please don t feel like that, it actually saddens me, so whether you have been in the hobby 40 yrs or 4 yrs or week makes no difference to me Tim. So don t be hesitant to share there are many fine people here to admire trees of all styles and types with no prejudice against status of experience and if you need help on something on your little tree we are all here...so no excuse now...get them up mate haha
Life is to short to ponder Tim...I wait for your tree now ...cheers buddy

Re: Chinese Elm
Very well said Anthony. And Tim, as someone who posts nothing akin to mature Bonsai - more like groups of twigs and pre-Bonsai - I have found this forum wonderfully supportive and good fun to boot. Posting pictures of all styles and maturity is what adds to the fabric of AusBonsai - post away - and if the tree was previously owned by another - no matter at all. Indeed, it has merely passed into your hands and perhaps if you can keep a tree progressing it will pass onto others for many a generation yet.

Re: Chinese Elm
Thanks Anthony and MJL,
Its the old catch 22 of feeling proud to own the trees and keep them developing for the next generations while knowing that i'm not responsible for a whole lot of it just at the moment.
I'm at the point with one of my Chinese Elms that i'm ready to take it to the next level development wise, but i'm not sure where to head from here, so some fresh pairs of eyes on it would probably be valuable as well. I'll share it over the coming days as i'll need to take some current photos; the last one i took was after repotting it in winter without any leaves on it which only tells half the story of the tree. The bugger is finding a good angle to actually capture the tree well at.
Thanks for the encouragement, i'll certainly open up my trees a little more to the forum.
