Thanks for writing! Unfortunately I did not film the repot of this tree, time was short and filming takes a long time. The nebari had changed a lot, but it had become worse! The five or so surface roots had died and the tree (luckily) produced two or three new roots, which were awkwardly positioned and had become extremely thick and ugly 🤦♂️I had to remove the ugly thick roots, leaving big wounds to heal. I also placed a couple of approach grafts to try to fill in the even bigger gaps in the nebari the tree has. The lesson I learned - don't let elm roots have too much freedom to grow and thicken!
Thanks for watching. I wasn’t sure if I had struck a balance between being dull but useful vs entertaining but empty... Always keen to hear feedback so I can continually improve, so thanks for taking the time 🙂
Very nice work been watching a few of your videos and you tell us everything we need to do and what's the next step. Defoliated and all it looks like a tree that would be in front of a witch's house lol cant wait to see how it turns out. I want to air layer a trunk similar to this one at my job so this helps out a lot as to what to do with these type of specimens! Keep on Doing great work !
I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me
@Mario Tyler thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Glad I found you on UA-cam. I’m curious-is there a certain philosophy as to why people do bonsai from stumps rather than growing from saplings? I am assuming it’s just a time thing, or not being able to find “pure yamadori” in the wild. Your thoughts?
From my point of view it's about striking a balance between time and money. I do have some very young seedlings (too many really!) to grow and play with. But it would take years to get the trunk that the tree in this video has. At the other end of the scale, the better quality collected material gets expensive. Check out Marija Hadjic's material at Meleda Bonsai for example - some world class trees ready to be developed into world class bonsai - but I cannot afford it. On the other hand, deciduous trees can be cut back to a stump and new branches grown, unlike conifers, so that is also a factor. Great question, thanks!
Please do more progress videos in the future !! Very good Pre-Bonsai! Great video!
Thanks, definitely more progress on the way!
🤔
Thanks for the video. I am looking forward to seeing this nebari.

I would love to see how this tree has progressed over the years.
Coming this autumn, prepare to be underwhelmed lol
Let's see what that looks like in the future.
Will do Jim, thanks for the comment!
