Seedling
Hello, I have loved bonsai for years and have tried my had at purchased trees. I however did not fare well with them. I have a Chinese Elm growing in my yard and there are some sprouts/ offshoots that I had dug up and replanted in some pots. One grew very large before I dug it up and I cut the trunk hoping it would grow branches. It seems that half of the tree died but the other half is alive. The branches grew but they are all on one side. Where I cut the trunk was smooth and I tried to break off some of it to make it look like the tree broke and then had new growth. I am stumped on what direction to shape the tree.
The smaller trees were planted in a large pot together and are about a year old or so. I accidentally hit them with a weed eater when they were alot younger...they seemed to regrow ok. I wired one up wanting the trunk to bend a little. Not sure about the shaping direction with these either.
Thanks for any and all suggestions/ advice!
