First prune - Chinese Elm
Posted: February 17th, 2020, 6:13 am
I picked up a Chinese Elm from my local club a couple of weeks ago and it's been growing well over the summer. I was going to wait until the next workshop and get some advice on cleaning it up but as they're a fairly easy tree to work on I decided I'd give it a go myself.
This is my first ever bonsai prune. Mainly used clip 'n' grow to get some more movement into the branches and develop some more ramification with a little bit of wiring where needed to develop the pads and the back of the tree.
Pretty happy with the results, and was so much easier working with a turntable.
