That's a great project, Jelle. Thanks for sharing. I like the gnarly trunk that has formed so quickly and I especially love the fact that this started as a piece of root that would normally have been thrown away.
This is an example of why your videos are especially awesome - We get to see you work those projects with your theories in *real time*, and then we get comfirmation of the effect, as the timelapse follows to the next stage of a season. *spoiler alert* - loved the plot twist there the presumed dead rotten part was really just shedding and preparing to regrow.. this was so freakin cool
Thats what I thought too. It really caught me off-guard, which goes to show, never assume. I have a few more timelapses with such bloopers. And also.. You think you know why you said in the last video, and then you do the opposite in the next session. So funny watching me stumble in the dark sometimes. ;)
So nice of you! I am probably going to give this tree up though. I have too many projects and this was just a little joke, aimed at showing that there is no bad material if you handle the techniques and time right.
Nice video! Again... In my opinion the thing we need the most when growing bonsaï, we lack the most and that is simply... patience. A video like this, maybe encourages us to get that in our minds...? And then, perhaps it's not that difficult at all to get nice results with this beautiful hobby. Well done, Jelle!
Great sort of time lapse video Jelle , showing how tough and easy Elms of any type are to work with just needs patience , never tried a root cutting, so I will give it a go when the time is right. Thanks Jelle.
No worries about binge watching :) Feel free to do so, they remain free to watch..Please share the ones you like on social media! Elm are so forgiving!
I used to not care at all for elms since they grow all over my neighborhood like weeds, but in recent years I've embraced just what excellent bonsai material they are especially to experiment and learn on because they are so tough and vigorous, and the best part is the leaves can reduce to an almost micro size. They are actually very beautiful bonsai! Your video is a fine example of just how wonderful it is to work with elms.
This is excellent. I have a weed or spontaneous common elm that popped up in a construction project I was doing that is very similar to this but younger but has similar structure and leaf shape. Bonus is spontaneous plants are literally impossible to kill
Amazing! I took a root cutting this spring (inspired by the original video of this cutting) and am waiting patiently for it to do . . . well, anything! No leaves yet but I wont give up until next spring. My plan is for a little, exposed root elm.
Re: not wiring a tree into the pot. I use Nigel Saunders' trick sometimes and just place a couple of stones on top of the roots to hold the tree in place. Nice little tree.
Appreciate the costume changes . . . you could have used a makeup artist early on (bar fight?). Seriously, thanks for making MUCH MORE than a quick film. This is exactly the way newbies should learn. Even this old dog did. :)
Haha, costume? Nah, not a barfight. Just working in the garden and not noticing! Appreciate the feedback. It is what I try to do with most videos. Progression over time!
I also propagate chinese elms and have been propagating for about 17 years know. But because I live in Seden I need to take precautions during winter. How cold do you keep your elms during winter? I keep them inside whit little light and between 7 to 12 degrees celcius (in my basement). I gets too cold outside ( around -20 degrees)
Daggum, I’m mad at myself for taking so long to pay attention to your channel, brother. You drop a plethora of knowledge with every post, filling up my notebook fast! I’m really digging the propagation by rooting cutting as you’ve made a fantastic prebonsai. Are you willing to share any aspect of your location/climate zone to assist in translating your techniques to my frozen tundra in Alaska USA?
Oh I love a good time-lapse of a single tree. It shows not only the thought process at one stage but how both you and the tree react to previous work.
Good to hear! More in the making!
That's a great project, Jelle. Thanks for sharing. I like the gnarly trunk that has formed so quickly and I especially love the fact that this started as a piece of root that would normally have been thrown away.
Glad you like it!Its cool right!?
Great little elm! I love working with Elms, they are so cooperative 🙂
Yes they are! But be carefull or you accumulate way too many!

Brilliant material! Absolutely love the time lapse and step-by-step instructions. What a pretty bonsai this will make!
So nice of you! I am probably going to give this tree up though. I have too many projects and this was just a little joke, aimed at showing that there is no bad material if you handle the techniques and time right.

Well said! Let things grow for a year and no pruning.
Great sort of time lapse video Jelle , showing how tough and easy Elms of any type are to work with just needs patience , never tried a root cutting, so I will give it a go when the time is right. Thanks Jelle.
:) Yes, time is of essence to bonsai!
I really appreciate you providing this process over time.
Love your content.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful exhibition of the art. Thank you for all these valuable pieces of information. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
love this tree mate, sorry im binge watching your videos. love elm trees :)

Yes indeed! Elms are great. Sadly they have a bad name due to the s-shaped mass imports. But it is not the species, it is the produce that is bad.
Eine prima Entwicklung, für so eine kurze Zeit.😊
sweet little tree!
this kind of video i'm looking for. thank for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Mor etimelapse are in the making! Did you see my big elm?
Very neat that it can be done like this!
I think so too!
Such an informative video Jelle. Your demonstrations of the growing process are invaluable and very well put together. Thank you for all your efforts
Glad it was helpful! I do try to create a continuous, senseble story!
Thanks. Love your timelapse videos.
Glad you like them! DO explore the others too thought :)
This is excellent. I have a weed or spontaneous common elm that popped up in a construction project I was doing that is very similar to this but younger but has similar structure and leaf shape. Bonus is spontaneous plants are literally impossible to kill
:) And Elms in General do very well and are easy to keep!
Thanks Jelle. A nice succinct demo.
You're very welcome!
Nice results. Once again we seem to be looking at the same sort of species. I have a big chinese elm video coming out on Tuesday :)
:) great minds yadie yadie.
Wonder if that also works for our regular minds.
great timelapse!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing 😊 very good to know, especially knowing I will be removing some on mine soon!
Looking good already, thanks again ❤
Have fun growing roots out into little trees!
That was beautiful.
Thaank you!
Amazing!
I took a root cutting this spring (inspired by the original video of this cutting) and am waiting patiently for it to do . . . well, anything! No leaves yet but I wont give up until next spring. My plan is for a little, exposed root elm.
Sorry to hear that did not get you growth yet!
@GrowingBonsai a few shoots appeared, finally. My hopes are raised sgain .
Great as always! I usually cut my forehead when I prune as well! ;)
I try to avoid cutting myself. But clumsy and impatient!
Un grand merci pour la vidéo!
You're very welcome my friend!
Re: not wiring a tree into the pot. I use Nigel Saunders' trick sometimes and just place a couple of stones on top of the roots to hold the tree in place. Nice little tree.
I know the practice. It is however tricky I find. Wiring down makes it very secure,certainly when the tree gets bigger.
Hi Jelle, already thought about sending me a corkbarkelm-cutting? 😊🙏😘 Cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
Hm.. Remind me?
@ I will 😄👍
Great tips and tricks - my elms struggle and still figuring out why. They look healthy but yeah slow...

Nice tree
I have one question.Do you leave your cn elm outside during the winter?
Thanks
Yeah. At least till -5c they stay outside
Nice little tree! What variety of elm is it? ulmus minor?
That is not sure. But yeah, I am assuming an U minor, corback variety
I also propagate chinese elms and have been propagating for about 17 years know. But because I live in Seden I need to take precautions during winter. How cold do you keep your elms during winter? I keep them inside whit little light and between 7 to 12 degrees celcius (in my basement). I gets too cold outside ( around -20 degrees)
I think up to -5 or so before i move them in the shed

Are you willing to share any aspect of your location/climate zone to assist in translating your techniques to my frozen tundra in Alaska USA?
I am in northwest Germany! Quite temperate.
Benefit: you have laods of videos to explore..!
Oh man, you are seriously insured 😯. Growing bonsai is a dangerous job?
Insured against what?
Nah, bonsai is friendly. Pruning Roses, now that is tricky!
@ In one sequence blood was at your forehead
👍👌🙂
:D
