That recovery is fascinating! In just a week, impressive!

[@danfernando8092]

Very nice!

[@philiptavella1856]

Great video as always. Plenty of great explanation of the Chinese elm, how it was produced and shaped for bonsai and how to care for it after potting it up. Thanks for sharing it. Phil

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Philip Tavella thank you Phil!

[@ramu591]

Hi Jerome, thank you for showing the progression of the tree in the same video. Hope to see updates of your previous trees as well.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Kolli Ramu hey Kolli, I will absolutely make an update video very soon

[@dickmcshan9778]

Another great presentation, Jerome! Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Thank you brother!

Beautiful

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

The little ones are so cute. Given the speed at which those grow, I imagine keeping them small takes a bit of work.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Michael McCarthy hey Michael, it is actually fairly easy. They grow pretty fast but the branches take a bit to thicken up and they don’t grow that fast all year long. They go through growth spurts

[@NC-wl1xm]

Wow very cool to see the great progress in such a short time. Beautiful

Thank you Rick!

[@mattbrennan647]

Amazing.. Great specimens. At some point could you please share your knowledge on how to encourage aerial root growth. I have some schleferras, and several varieties of ficus/banyans in training. Thanks

I live in Indiana and have a couple chinese elm I just got this summer, I am not sure about winter care. Do you have any tips?

[@hectordehesa2118]

Do you think they used air layering she. Cutting down these huge trees??

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hector dehesa hey Hector, I am sure they use it on their larger specimen but I am not 100% sure. Good question though

[@hectordehesa2118]

We are The Bonsai Supply thanks so much for replying! Can’t wait to learn more from you

[@hectordehesa2118]

Is rinsing off the roots unnecessary? Is having a little of the soil ok to have in the roots from the original root ball it came from?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hector dehesa hey Hector, I never bare root anything. I always leave about 30% of the old soil so that the tree doesn’t get shocked when introduced to a new soil.

[@hectordehesa2118]

We are The Bonsai Supply so much info! Thanks again. Can’t wait for the new video.

[@markmondrinos7721]

The rate of development in South Florida must be insane! I guess the drawback is that you can't grow trees that need to be really cold in winter, like Spruce etc.

[@Kgoutdoor]

Hey I was thinking of getting a Chinese elm but I’m in east central Florida. I know you’re in Florida as well somewhere. Zone 9B. Will this tree thrive here??? I’ve seen a couple at some nursery’sand they always have burnt leaves almost. Thanks

[@charlesmckemie8921]

Kevin Gondola I live in the Fl panhandle and I am growing these out in the ground now for 4 years. They grow like a weed here with no winter special care so you should be fine in your location

[@charlesmckemie8921]

Kevin Gondola btw. I am in zone 9a

[@karloman00]

I am new to the bonsai world, I currently have 6 plants, (azalea, bougainvillea, dwarf olive, chinese elm, juniper, and a cypress) I've been using standard potting mix and surprisingly has worked well.. my question to you guys is How much would your 3lb bag of all purpose bonsai soil mix cover??? I'm worried I wont buy enough to repot my trees, stalling my window for the re-potting season. Sorry for the long comment, but I figured you would respond to the youtube comment more than on amazon Thanks!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

karloman00 hey Karlo, I would say a 3lb bag would cover a 12” pot. However, that all depends on how big your root mass is as well as how big your trunk is and depth and width of pot. I hope I was able to answer your question

[@BonsaiAmador]

BELO MOVIMENTO

[@almac2598]

Lots of info, but if you are going to use a reciprocating power saw put the tool against the subject and let the blade motion do the cutting for you

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Al Mac hey Al, you are right! I am just inpatient 😁

[@almac2598]

Know the feeling, but it actually cuts slower if held 'free', remember it cuts on the 'pull' stroke, hence holding it against the work, plus blades can shatter or jam in the work otherwise. All the best.

[@3ncore91]

Good video but bad sound!

[@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia]

You should not have cut the top trunk at this time. You should have waited for a little longer until the apex 'swallowed' up the cut, and in the process you could just have chiseled off the dead wood in it.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

obalajadia it was perfect timing, the cut has already healed half way

[@Syx699]

XXL mallsai.
