AusBonsai

Hi all ,In my early years of Bonsai I went a little crazy and started up way to many projects with Elm roots and finally have potted up several in pots. I know they are not every ones cup of tea but I found them to be a good learning experience. If i can get the ramification like Pup I would be a happy man. Cheers John.

Boom, they are fantastic. Ive started some elm room cuttings with the same idea in mind for mine.
Look forward to their ramification.

Very dramatic Boom!
I like.

Ideas..Thanks for sharing.

Love that first one, it looks as though its about to walk off

Hi Boom64 , mate i like these for the simple reason they are uniquely different , sounds like they may just inspire a few members to step outside the square . .

Cheers Alpine

I tried some but didn't go very well. Love the third one.

Hi folks ,thanks for the kind words. Today i was lucky enough to finish re potting some of the bigger ones .Still a few years to go. Cheers John

Hi Boom
Wow, those are really dramatic . Like how tight you've managed to get the roots onto the rocks Did you follow Shibui's technique

Hi Peter ,I have been wrapping the roots very tightly with clear grafting tape. The wide type 25mm I think . I cut of at repotting time and do it again ,it usually takes 2 or 3 seasons. Just one of many methods ,hope this helps . Regards John.

wow, it looks like someone drained the swamp, and this was what was collected. Not my cup of tea, but it certainly is interesting to look at.

Hi All,
A quick update on several 'drained swamp ' trees. Several had a bit of sooty mould on them ,will give them a good wash with soap flakes soon. Still a while to go but pretty happy so far. Aiming for a more Chinese style. Getting to the stage were I will have to stop growing all my off cuts. Cheers John.

Awesome evocative trees Boom!
I really like these mate.

I'd like to bridge a few of the bigger gaps on some but really really cool stuff.
