Another informative video. I like the clip and grow method for many varieties of Elm. Saves getting wire scars. Keep them coming my friend.

Nice work pruning this large C. Elm. Looking good. I also like the clip and grow method. Helps with the vision of a natural tree. Great work. The little tree will turn out just fine for you.

I'm just so happy that I won an elm tree from you. I know that I won't live long enough to be as fat in the trunk as this one. I'm already looking for someone to look after it after I pass in 20 or more years.

You are getting rid of your Irish Moss. Try growing it in pots and selling it for use instead of grass for a nice lawn or in spaces as a ground cover. Costs me $5 just for a small pot. Sometimes I can get the half dead ones for $1. Sometimes they survive, but that is the chance I do take. I tried 3 in the front as a ground cover and so far it is surviving. I will know come spring after the -8F weather we had. Right now 28F/-2C this morning.

@MiltonChang-ee6rq 5 месяцев назад

Are you Irsh or Chinese?😇

@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 5 месяцев назад

@@MiltonChang-ee6rq U.S.A. of Polish descent. I just love the Irish moss for a ground cover. I had it in the yard, but with 3 dogs, it did not last. In front of the house, it grows perfect. Now to watch for the sales in the junk selection of plants not watered for more this year. Try it in a section of the yard that is in a hard to grow spot. At least you will have something green. Stay well my friend. Enjoy a cup of tea tonight.

@OutsidethePot 5 месяцев назад

Like always good video. I don’t find myself wanting to rase a tree from seedlings but that’s just my opinion. What would be nice is to see how you choose an older tree. I generally look for trees 5 years and up. I look to see if it’s taking on the look that I want or I air layer from a mature tree. Might be nice to get your opinion.

@MiltonChang-ee6rq 5 месяцев назад

That's a god plan...My purpose is to address the needs of a wide range of interest.

@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 5 месяцев назад

Have you ever tried to grow a Pereskia Grandiflora (Rose Cactus) as a bonsai? It does develop a nice trunk and in the dead of winter mine is forming a bud in the north window of my basement. With your nice weather, I bet you could make a real nice tree out of one.

@MiltonChang-ee6rq 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback...possibilities are only limited by your imagination (vision)!

@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 5 месяцев назад

@@MiltonChang-ee6rq I like to look at Planet Desert for different types of succulent trees to try. Right now I have a bottle tree, native to Australia from them and just did a successful repot in December of 2023. With the low light in the basement, it is starting to grow as the sun can shine through the west window. I do not like to stay in a comfort zone so to say. I like to try new things.

@laddieokelley6095 5 месяцев назад

In 2006 I acquired a cutting identified as a Yatsubusa (small-leafed) elm--I assume it is Ulmus Parvifolia Yatsubusa. After 8 years in the ground I had to dig it when I sold my house; it has been in a large training pot since 2015. Although now 6-7 feet tall, the heavily fissured trunk never grew more than 2-3 inches in diameter at the base. There is growth at the base, which could be developed into a bonsai. I am considering first air-laying the top of the tree, Do you know if this elm variety never develops the massive trunk of your Chinese Elm? Any other advice, especially about the air-layer? Your excellent video is timely for me.

@MiltonChang-ee6rq 5 месяцев назад

When in doubt, people add chinee, japanese, and yatsubusa to the name of a bonsai tree. Given itis "heavily fissured and slow growth", it is not a Chinese elm, more likely Seiju elm a vsiaty of Hokkaido em, Valuable tree,,,.but be care of the brittle branch when you wire. Have fun!
