Developing a Chinese elm Bonsai

In this 2-year progression, we style a nursery stock Ulmus parvifolia that was grown as a cutting for 5 years. We pruned and wired the tree, then repotted six months later, and continued developing the tree for another full year. With these long format videos, we hope to show you how to develop a tree over time - and what the impact of applying Bonsai techniques is 6-12 months later.
