Here's a few of my smaller trees this autumn. Hoping they give some enjoyment and maybe inspiration to someone.

Looking quite nice in autumn colour with a carpet of fallen leaves.

This elm was developed from a root cutting - a great method to produce tiny bonsai.

This trident was originally a triple trunk but the front right trunk suddenly died back leaving this nice small twin.

I've had this elm for quite a few years but it is very slow to develop - thickens very slowly and is reluctant to ramify much. This variety only loses its leaves in very cold winters. A few dead twigs this year shows that it is overdue for a repot.

Lovely! The Seiju with the flecks of gold is especially appealing, but they are all perfect.

Great work, Shibui!

You've got me inspired to start working with smaller stock (maybe I'll be chopping down some of my bigger stock

)! I particularly like the Trident - great ramification!

Thanks for sharing!

steven that is my favorite elm in neils collection and for a english elm its outstanding due to its size

Steven, That small seiju is still alive but I don't think it has improved since that last pic was taken. This year it just seemed to have very little energy and, if anything has lost ramification rather than improved. I really prefer the twin trunk seiju at the top of this thread now. See what you think.

sorry Neil it thought it was a english elm? anyway still bloody nice. After looking at your twin trunk im unsure

but since you like the twin trunk better you wont mind parting with this one.
