Corky Bark Elm

Post by fiveoffive »

Hi Guys
I just wanted to show one of the tree's i have been working on for the last few years.
I got my little Elm of a member of Ausbonsai some time ago and i have been adding my style to this little tree.
I have attached a few photos of it over the last few years and if i have time i'll take a winter shot with it all cut back.
I know it still needs a bit of work and not at show stage yet but I'm quite happy with it so far and its been a long time since i added anything to the site.

I have to do some Winter photos this year.
Sorry most of the shot's i take are done with my phone because i have it on me.
I will have to take some better shot over the next few years as the phone does not take a great shot.

Let me know what you guys think.

Beautiful tree.
Fanatic corky Bark!

Can't help but wonder if that PK pot is a bit big?
Thanks for sharing!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Yeah I have a smaller pot for it later on when I want to show it. A small pk pot
But right now I just want good growth and a larger pot down my way in summer is needed.
Nothing to see 45c and with a small pot I would need to water a lot more then I can in summer.
five years from now it might be ready for that pot.
