Finally seeing some autumn colours.
Not much of a tree, but still pretty colours.

Re: Finally Autumn
It is a Chinese elm. Sometimes they don't drop leaves until the new ones come out.

Re: Finally Autumn
Really? I was hoping to do some work on it while it had no leaves, is it worth defoliating?

Re: Finally Autumn
That's up to you. Lots of leaves to cut
You can still work on it with leaves on - pruning, wiring, repotting, etc. Some leaves will fall off while you work but it does not matter whether they are there or not at this time of year.

Re: Finally Autumn
It was only so I could see the structure of the tree a bit better.
Might do it anyway, and yes it might take a while haha

Re: Finally Autumn
Hi Ben
Nice color on the trees.
Could I suggest if you were thinking or re-potting the elm a bit later on, I would think that it would look great used in creating a penjing style on a mossy hill using a bonsai forest tray.
I know that some people would just love to own that including me.
have a look here there may well be an image here to give you an idea.

Re: Finally Autumn
Thanks jdceng
It's funny you mention that, I actually purchased this shallow tokoname pot (not quite a tray) with the intentions of planting it on a little mound with moss. But I thought that the pot made the tree look too small. Maybe it's just me? I don't have the dimensions at hand but when I get home I might start a thread for this guy and do some photoshops with the pot.

Re: Finally Autumn
Hi Ben
That's a coincidence great minds think alike.
Try placing the elm as it is in the pot it's in. inside the tray it will give us an idea of the dimensions.
