Very good information on these trees. Nice trunks.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you! Emily opened a special gift today ❤️❤️

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

@@Candice.BonsaiScience I hope she liked it. Came fast. Mailed it Tuesday. Take care. You have a great little helper.

What I love about Chinese Elms is the size of the leaves. It is well suited for shohin or mame size. Great video 🙂👍

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Yes! Absolutely great bonsai material!

[@TonysBonsai]

Nice video Candice. I like the subtlety of the first pot for the little tree.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

They are both good choices!

[@oachkatzlsmum]

I really love your videos. You are amazing, Candice ❤️ Thank you so much! 🙏🙋‍♀️

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you so much!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Good stuff Candice!! That last tree has so many future possibilities, but it sure isn't a great tree the way it is!!!

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

So true! But I like to have variety of different tree types so sometimes I need to reduce- and this one is lower on the totem pole 🤣

[@sarahbeck8050]

Nice! I really like the big s curve tree view at 18:43 for the front. It shows off some of its natural looking movement.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Yeah me too!

[@apostlewoody]

Very informative video. I gathered some much needed knowledge. Im looking at my Elms a different way now, glad I haven't hacked them up before seeing this...

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Now time to hack!

[@bonsaibythesea]

Chinese elms of plenty good looking trees 😊

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Yes they are!

[@bobcatbonsai]

Very informative as always. Now I have to go check out your spring video! Thank you for sharing.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thanks for watching!

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

May do it again this spring as viewers have changed and people don’t always ‘look back’ to see if we covered the topic

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Good video Candice 👍

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Thank you 😁

[@baldyeti]

Great mini series on the Chinese elms, Lady! I’ve got plenty of notes to apply to my own. Think you’ll Airlayer the big s curve tree?

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

I’ve thought of it I think I could create a better base if I do

[@DIYBonsaiGuy]

Good day Candice 😁. Loved this series. Did I count twice that you said Fast Mode? LoL 😆 I know you corrected yourself. Ttfn, John.

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

I need to be more pre-caffeinated some mornings 🤣

[@DIYBonsaiGuy]

@Bonsai Science you mean you let the caffeine leave you're system? Not me lol

[@ThatGuy-cs3nb]

I get what your saying. However I keep all mine inside. They slow down but still grow. I have 16 small ones I got adjacent to some big lace bark Chinese elms in a parking lot. They are all still mostly dormant. But indoors. They did have a month or so in the cold before I collected them. With the grow lights they are starting to bud out

[@Candice.BonsaiScience]

Yes Chinese Elms can be grown as semi deciduous and kept in regular living areas during winter - but I find all trees including Tropicals grow more vigorously if allowed a good true dormancy period. It’s too cold here to really keep any trees ‘outside’ during winter so the temperate trees stay in my cold room which has lights 6 hours and temps kept 33-39F.
