Ulmus Parvifolia 5 years progression

.

Very good job. Im impressed! The tree changed dramatically, and all to the better. Good thing you took photos of it all.
Great learning for the newbies. Lovely to see the dense rootsystem when you lift the tree out of the pot.

Fantastic set of progression photos and excellent progression for the tree too.
There are a lot of these Elms out there that would benefit from the same treatment.

Great progression pictures and the tree s coming along beautifully.

This was fascinating and lets us see what can be done with the often maligned Ulmus parvifolia. It is a magnificent tree when you see it like this.

This was an excellent progression . You improved the tree with everything you did . I am not 100 % sold on the need for the first branch though . Well done .

I prefer it more without the first branch . The first left branch should be elongated for balance . Nice tree .

hi!

tHANKS FOR SHARING!

The left immage is standing still....one place nothing happens

grtz m

The tree is great!! you have done a lot of workto make it what it is ..my only opion would to have left the left branch!!any way it is a good tree be proud...great job take care john

Thank you, it is a beautiful tree. As a rookie I appreciate the progression pictures as it helps make expplain how it all comes together.
Is the frog still around somehow, I love frogs and that little guy put a smile on my face.

I agree with Skunkyjoe on the left branch. A little more length will balance it. With the branch there it feels too close to the soil and somehow un-natural.

WOW very nice progression!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Very well (and coherently, I might add) said! I kept wondering what it would look like without that branch, and I like it better too.

What a wonderful tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

wow what an amazing transformation. Definitely worth the 5 yr wait. If I were you I'd leave the left branch and personaly I think the larger rounder white pot looks better and balances it more. Thanks for sharing and the idea!

Hi Sankofabonsai


Very nice development tree. I think progression without error. Great transformation, congratulations.

Wow. Really nice progression series. As a newbie, I really appreciate the opportunity to see development like this. Thanks for the effort!

Hi Sankofabonsai

Loved to see all the photos, a very good job.

The low left branch is a bit low, but without, the tree loose ballance. I dont think it is enough to grow the next left branch bigger. It still have a ballance-problem.
I would cut off the right branch too, and make a new airlayering, further up the trunk.

Kind regards Yvonne

Excellent stuff! I was having trouble figuring out how to rootwork one of my trees and you cleared it right up with this progression series.

Bravo!

Thanks ever so much, just what I needed to see!
Great work and excellent progression.

Cheers

Hi Sankofabonsai,

Great tree there's more potential to come,is the back portion worth making it as a front for you?just a thought.. Hope things are well with you.Thanks for sharing

Your friend,
Alex/Ogie

well done

really no need for words, the pictures speak for themselves on this 5-year journey. excellent documentation and of course the progression.

if it were me, i'll keep the first left branch...

Hi Sankofabonsai

Your reply is very good. I thought you allready had cut off the first branch, and it was too late. Your tree will look a lot like the japanese tree in the future, this is good.
Your small trees are also very nice.

Kind regards Yvonne
