Hi all
I had a chance to go back to bodhidharma nursery yesterday and walked away with ...... what else english elm ......x2.

Some people are addicted to chocholate and some to sports .... me i'm convinced i'm addicted to English elms .
stopping and running into ever english elm clump I see along the roads and stopping just to admire the big old trees on most edges of country towns.

Below are a few pictures of the need additions to my elm family both are well advanced and well on their way to nice trees .
Thanks once again Bodhi for being such an awesome and helpful guy !

Whoever from this form who has not taken the time or made the trip up to Shepards Flat I strongly suggest you do not only is this a wonderful nursery the senery is absoultely amazing .
Forget the crazy stuff and the convience of everyday city life for a day and make the trip today you won't regret it .

the first tree looks great either way front 1 or front 2

Hi nic & Len
Elms are doing fine ... Unfortunatly I am or may have to reduce my trees

With taking I've new work commitments and longs hrs I don't seem to be getting much time to do bonsai

I have decided to only keep maybe 6 - 8 trees

Some of what I consider my best a lot of others may soon go all real good trees
Only problem is I cannot choose
