Corky Bark Elm
Posted: July 22nd, 2018, 2:39 pm
Hi All!
I got tired of waiting for the leaves to drop on this elm, so I went ahead & repotted it today. No going to get cold enough here I'm guessing.
I bought this off the forum in October 2017, & have set the branches & cut back several times to get it to where it is.
I bought the pot around the same time & thought the green would work well with the foliage. It has a chop but I can't find the maker. Bonsai Northside has the same one, & said it's Chinese but of a better quality.
Things I noticed looking at the photos:
- There's a black mark I didn't clean off on the pot
- The jin at the back makes it look a little inverse tapered. Maybe the jin should be at the front as a main feature?
- There's a branch on the left that needs lowering to match the rest.
Pretty chuffed at how far this has come in a short time. Advice & suggestions always welcomed.
Thanks for looking!
