Hi, I like your elm Bonsai. Can you tell us some background such as how long you’ve had it, collected wild or not, etc? Looking forward to hearing more.

This material was made included with a class I attended. Our task was to prune, style and Repot. I have only had the tree for a few days.

It’s off to a good start! Our club will be holding a workshop that sounds similar to the one you took. Elms grow fast and furious so you will have fun with it.

Just got myself a small Chinese Elm, too. I’m hoping it does well in my Arizona heat. Would love to see this updated as the tree takes off for the spring!

I will let this grow freely until late Fall, then prune back.
