Chinese Elm 2

Post by blkrota »

Hi , I repotted this elm last week and only just got a pic of it.
I dont like this pot as it is too deep, but all the big bonsai nurserys are out of stock of oval glazed pots in this size.
I had to get it out of the plastic growing pot i bought it in from Mason at bonsai at the bay.
I gave up after a tank of gas and sitting in traffic all day going form one end of sydney to the other. Everyone is waiting for shipments of pots atm.
This tree also needs alot of work like the other elm, I have pulled down the lower branches and will neaten it all up over the next week or so.
Hope you like it.

this is a nice one to BLK :D

you could probly lower the height a little bit as the top section looks a little spindly compared to the rest of the tree, but i love the movement in the base, it has some nice muscling movement.
