AusBonsai

I thought it was about time for me to show a progression instead of always asking questions.
I purchased this starter Chinese Elm almost 3 years ago from the now sadly closed Red Dragon Bonsai Nursery at Currumbin. It was just in a black bag and had been hedged but not shaped. I think it was about 3 years old at time of purchase. I looked at it for a couple of weeks before starting to clean it up and put some wire on the branches. It was potted into a deep grow pot in August 2017 and I toyed with the idea of making it into a semi cascade. After looking at it leaning like that for half a year I came to the conclusion that it just didn't look right and replanted it upright. From then on I only pruned it back when needed and let the branches develop. In September this year I repotted it into a bonsai pot. By then the nebari showed signs of developing quite nicely too. The last pic is from today after a recent light prune to encourage ramification. The aim now is to keep it at about this size and develop the structure and shape.
I hope this has been of interest and welcome any comments or criticism that may help to improve this tree.
Cheers, Frank.

Nice progression.
I would expect a photo next year, then the year after and so on, oh please. (My mother would be so proud I was polite)

That's a very nice elm. The trunk is a good size and I like the bends you have put into it. I'm interested to see how this develops further.
