Man I hope so. Worried about the root system but I have lots of spagnam moss in my mix to aid recovery. Got to make them bold decisions some times eh. I'll do an update come spring.

Yeah. You know what it's like when the roots are all bad.🫣 I couldn't stop. My soil has spagnam moss in it so I'm hoping it helps. I'm risking it on this one.

I'm a bit concerned too. I went pretty hard on my forest and they all survived, so I'm hopeful. I will keep updated as always and I will do my best to help it thrive.

@ the only reason i said that a while ago I had a conversation with a guy in my Bonsai club he is expert on larches and told me larch trees root systems are a little different to a lot other trees the roots are very vascular and told me go easy when cutting back the roots it’s a slow process a bit each time you repot hope this information helps buddy 🫶

@pauletheridge7594 he seems like a very knowledgeable person. I'm still new to larchs and I'm still figuring them out. This info will do me well, thank you. Every day is a school day. ☺️👍🏼

Oh yes 👍🏼

Oh thanks for the info. I'm not sure I'm going to air layer it now. It's turning into quite a nice tree now it's wired up. ☺️

It's a good one 😁

Thanks for watching Xavier, you will just have to wait for part 2 on Sunday to find out if a rock is my solution 😁

Thanks 👍🏼

Thanks fella 😁 they are perfect material to work with when wiring.

Part 2 is out on Sunday. I finish it off it looks fantastic. Keep an eye out fella 😜

That's not a bad idea Kevin but it's not the direction I want to take this tree. I see larch as big strong trees and a rock will take that away from the tree later in life. Plus I really just don't like the roots. It's a shame as the tree is needing an air layer in my opinion to make it right.

Cheers Andy. Knowing the Chinese Elms it should soon grow back. I hope 😂

Thx for sharing

@zen-da-bonsai-ko your welcome 😁

A Japanese quince! Thanks 😊. Were do you live? This show was awesome. I can't wait for the next one, there were so many good examples, even the trade stalls had fantastic trees to offer.

I sure feel like it. I think I'll apply for a new job at the local weather station 🤣

Thanks Jonny. I always had my heart set on a glass greenhouse. I think I'll do my research and spend the money and get a good solid one.

More like an air raid shelter 🤣

Make sure you reinforce them panels, they have a tendency to get blown out. That's why I'm going to a good old fashioned glass house.

@bonsaiexpression unfortunately my neighbours glass greenhouse with aluminium frame was completely chewed up in the storm. Wasnt even a year old. Polycarbonate panels are easy to replace and relatively cheap. The wood will stop the whole thing coming down. These big storms are going to be more frequent

@sherylsschoolofgardening6327 fair enough. Might be the best way to go then. 🤔

😁😁

Cheers Bill. This is going to be a great tree come the growing season 😁

Cheers Dave. I love Elms I wish I had a couple of traditional English Elms for the collection and a cork bark too. 😁 See what this year's boot sale brings 👍🏼

@ I hope you can track one down!

Hopefully 🍀

Thanks Darren ☺️

😁😁

Thank you my friend. There great trees 👍🏼

Thanks for the kind words 😊

Running with what I got 👍🏼 keep it simple. Thanks man.

I was pondering a cascade. Do larch lend themselves well to cascade Xavier?

@@bonsaiexpression I have seen quite a few of them and have two semi cascade on the go

@XaviersBonsaiRetreat I'll take a look . Thanks Xavier

The more I look at it the more I'm thinking that to but. What about jin-ing the branch up wards. As if it's been struck by lightning ⚡⚡

@bonsaiexpression definitely a possibility... im not convinced maybe do a scetvh or photo edit and see. Tbh it would make a great twin trunk with natural lines

@@sherylsschoolofgardening6327 good idea 💡

Thanks dude I think I'm going to need it 😂

I think that's a good idea. Go for a possible 3rd tree. I like 😍

The swelling is too great at the base of the new tree. Which is why I was aiming for a broom style for the lower half of the tree. I talk about this in the previous videos on the playlist if you would like to check them out, They are available ☺️. This is why it's taken me so long to make a decision as to what to do with this tree. Other than that I could chop all the lower branches off, grow the great out then do the air layer. 🤔

Don't worry Mick, I definitely will be showing as I've absolutely no experience in air layers so it will be an experience I definitely want to put on film.

Cheers Dave. I'm excited to see the outcome too. I don't see it not working to be honest. It is a Chinese Elm and they love punishment. 🤣

This one is going to be a good tree once I split them 👍🏼

Thanks Martin. I can't wait to air layer the top tree and get it going as it's own tree 😁

You too fella. 😁

Thanks Dave 😁

Thank you for watching ☺️

Thank you. Hopefully I'll get some more back buds too and I can start looking at making those branches less straight and get some more movement in them with a bit of clip and grow. 😊

I didn't know they were that easy to root. I might give it ago when I do another round of pruning. Thanks for the advice Mick. 👍🏼

Thanks Andy 😁

Indeed. After I finished filming I decided to keep the little thing inside for a few nights. The weather has started to get back into positive digits now so I'm moving it back outside today. 😁 No more snow or cold temps for a while

Cheers Dave. That burrito made me feel better today 😋

@ heck yeah! I’m actually eating tacos here tonight … you inspired me to make them. 🤣

@dreamingofbonsai ummmmm I'm hungry again now 🤤

@@bonsaiexpression hahaha! You’ll have to track down a late night spot to get some more burritos! 🤣

@dreamingofbonsai I think it's early morning now 🤣

I've brought it into the plant room to chill until the end of the week. The weather is going back to 10 degrees so I wanted to be ahead of the game 😁

@ 💪💪👊👊👊👊👊

@Bonsaicrazy I'm trying to be as efficient as possible this year 😁

Hope you're ok over there.

Hi Martin thanks for watching and thanks for the birthday wishes. Yes I am 40. 😊 Must be them Peter Pan genes 🤣

Thanks for the birthday wishes Dave. You don't look almost 40 either 😊. Good ol' Peter pan genes. Thanks Dave the weather is awful now. I'm sick of it. Roll on spring. 😁

I hope you guys cope with it better than we do. Everyone panics over here like they've never seen it before 🤣

Thanks Paul They are all doing well. Letting them all grow wild this year has done them well. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I sure hope so it starts at 40 as I don't feel 40 🤣

It's on the outside of the curve not the inside. It's where the root was chopped. My only concern with it, is maybe it's too straight?
