Hey everyone! I got this Chinese Elm as a Christmas gift from my wonderful mom. I know it was tough for her to pay what she did for a seemingly worthless (to her) tree. It is my first elm and I like it. No I am relatively new to bonsai still but I know this thing has a few “issues” structurally...

I’m not offended. But I would not call what I have skill right now but maybe one day lol

Sorce, you’re a savage my friend!! Lol though I see your point and appreciate your opinion. I will not dismiss it.

This is incredible. I wish I could create these “simulation” pictures! It really helps to see what things could be while developing a tree to inspire and keep you on track. I like this version very much.

This is the eventual shape I would like to end up with. Thank you!

I really appreciate the time and attention that you guys are giving this. I can see all views and will consider all of them. I think it is clear that I will have to let this tree recover and reevaluate but I love that this site provides an archive to refer back to when that time comes. Based on...

Thank for the drawing. It helps a lot. Unfortunately that blue circled area is coming down from the top (overbearing) branch I believe but I’ll have to examine closer when I get home to be sure. I’m afraid, if I’m right, that I will be left with quite a void ☹️. I do like your plan for the right...

Thank you SO much for taking so much time to share this with me. I am beyond grateful. I will re-read this several times I’m sure before it comes time to work on this tree again. I understand your points about all the bar branches. I’m going to be honest, I did not notice how many there were (my...

😂 I like your style

I have no idea what type of juniper this is because it was not labeled when I bought it but I need some styling advise. There were two main side branches and then a straight trunk that went to the moon. I Jinned the “top” and used the upper most side branch as my new apex. My question is weather...

Thanks Ham. I am also very new so I rely a lot on the opinions of those who know better on here. Lol. I hope it fills in this growing season 🤞

So I’ve pulled the tree in and up as well as shorten the jins based on y’all’s suggestions. I also thought I’d provide a “before” picture. It has a lot of filling out to do (it’s a bit leggy) but I’m happy with this as a starting point. Thank you all for your advice and suggestions.

Thanks so much! All of your posts were a huge help and I will definitely take this advice.

Thanks a lot. I absolutely agree about the jin. I do plan on chopping it down for sure. I appreciate the feed back a lot.

Thanks a lot. I will be the first to admit my wiring is terrible. That is something I need to do more YouTubing on lol. Hopefully after Covid I can join a local club 🤞and get som help.
