I've just started on my first Bonsai, a Corky Bark Chinese Elm, with plenty of help from Penny of Mudlark Pottery. Here's a photo of the early stages, consider this the "before" shot.

thats a great variety for bonsai.

I've been assured that it's a very "forgiving" and resilient tree, which is probably just what I need as a beginner.

I've been looking for one too, where did you get it from. Looks good.

I got it in an order from Ray Nesci's Bonsai Nursery in Dural.

The pic is too large could you possibly reduce it so we can see all the little gal/fellow. I see you are sowing seeds too.

If you open the picture in a new tab you ought to be able to zoom out using Ctrl -
