MIRAI YATSUBUSA ELM

Yeah its a bit crazy and if your not carful can suddenly have numerous shoots come up from all over the place lol its definitely one to check on once a day in the growing season lol
But on the plus side it was easy to rework and adjust as you can guarantee a shoot will pop up where you want it too

Indeed!

When transplanting wrap wet newspapers around the trunk to protect delicate bark, but still lift carefully. Try to use the upper branches rather than the lowest limbs.

Excellent, thanks Bill!

Soon a shower of tiny yellow leaves will come down completely covering the soil.

You'll have to buy a tiny rake! It's an impressive tree. Is that a bare Culek slab in the background? Any plans to put a tree on it?

If I every move to the US I would be moving in next to your nursery ^^

Good eye! Indeed it is! These artificial rocks are beautiful. That is one of my new projects for the spring. It will be a rock composition with several wild collected thujas. So we'll see if I can get to it

Don't you know folks who adopt kids usually adopt more than one? We have a better chance if we work together. Besides who would say no to adopting and adorable 6'4 Dutchman like me?

Elm tonight. Just recently wired, pruned and repotted. Many thanks to Sal @Tidal Bonsai for his amazing assistance in helping me repot this giant. It all went much smoother than expected and only took us 2.5 hours and not a piece of bark out of place! In the next day or so I will add a couple of root grafts.














This thick root which was completely straight and facing the back was manipulated and bent towards the front using a guy wire so that it could better appreciated and contribute to the overall flaring base.

Hi Mach,

What’s your tips for handling a big tree like this, without damaging bark? I recently did a larger tree of mine and couldn’t help but damage a few small flakes of bark. I tried wrapping gentling in a sheet.
Thanks!

 

[Tidal Bonsai]

It was a great experience being able to help you move this tree forward Sergio! It was pretty painless for such a monster tree. Just so you nuts can appreciate the scale, this is the Byron Myrick container!!!
