Hey everyone,
The owner of the local bonsai nursery gave me a Chinese elm today for helping him out. I thought I'd throw it up on the forum to see what ideas people might have for this tree. I am looking formal upright and thinking that clump of branches on the left side in the 1st pic need to be dealt with--they have started a knuckle it would seem on that portion of the tree. Any thoughts on that? There are some crossing branches, but no biggie, and I may want to thin and then wire some movement into the branches before long. I repotted it in our local calidama mix with maybe 20% bark mixed in. Thanks for any and all advice!
