Turning Elm Roots into Bonsai (2 year development timelapse)

[@sueb1317]

Brilliant material! Absolutely love the time lapse and step-by-step instructions. What a pretty bonsai this will make!

[@MAMLeers]

Nice video! Again... In my opinion the thing we need the most when growing bonsaï, we lack the most and that is simply... patience. A video like this, maybe encourages us to get that in our minds...? And then, perhaps it's not that difficult at all to get nice results with this beautiful hobby. Well done, Jelle!

This is an example of why your videos are especially awesome - We get to see you work those projects with your theories in *real time*, and then we get comfirmation of the effect, as the timelapse follows to the next stage of a season. *spoiler alert* - loved the plot twist there the presumed dead rotten part was really just shedding and preparing to regrow.. this was so freakin cool

I used to not care at all for elms since they grow all over my neighborhood like weeds, but in recent years I've embraced just what excellent bonsai material they are especially to experiment and learn on because they are so tough and vigorous, and the best part is the leaves can reduce to an almost micro size. They are actually very beautiful bonsai! Your video is a fine example of just how wonderful it is to work with elms.

This is excellent. I have a weed or spontaneous common elm that popped up in a construction project I was doing that is very similar to this but younger but has similar structure and leaf shape. Bonus is spontaneous plants are literally impossible to kill

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Nice results. Once again we seem to be looking at the same sort of species. I have a big chinese elm video coming out on Tuesday :)

Amazing! I took a root cutting this spring (inspired by the original video of this cutting) and am waiting patiently for it to do . . . well, anything! No leaves yet but I wont give up until next spring. My plan is for a little, exposed root elm.

Great sort of time lapse video Jelle , showing how tough and easy Elms of any type are to work with just needs patience , never tried a root cutting, so I will give it a go when the time is right. Thanks Jelle.

[@cknight5917]

Such an informative video Jelle. Your demonstrations of the growing process are invaluable and very well put together. Thank you for all your efforts

[@robertscarborough68]

Thanks for sharing 😊 very good to know, especially knowing I will be removing some on mine soon! Looking good already, thanks again ❤

[@karolwozniak9023]

great timelapse!

[@jazzrat2000]

Great as always! I usually cut my forehead when I prune as well! ;)

[@XyzeqPalentira]

Thanks Jelle. A nice succinct demo.

[@Hollylivengood]

That was beautiful.

[@Tybold63]

Great tips and tricks - my elms struggle and still figuring out why. They look healthy but yeah slow...

[@mcbabs7495]

Un grand merci pour la vidéo!

[@EPErnst]

Thanks. Love your timelapse videos.

[@laddieokelley6095]

Appreciate the costume changes . . . you could have used a makeup artist early on (bar fight?). Seriously, thanks for making MUCH MORE than a quick film. This is exactly the way newbies should learn. Even this old dog did. :)

Daggum, I’m mad at myself for taking so long to pay attention to your channel, brother. You drop a plethora of knowledge with every post, filling up my notebook fast! I’m really digging the propagation by rooting cutting as you’ve made a fantastic prebonsai. Are you willing to share any aspect of your location/climate zone to assist in translating your techniques to my frozen tundra in Alaska USA?

[@oachkatzlsmum]

Hi Jelle, already thought about sending me a corkbarkelm-cutting? 😊🙏😘 Cheers 🙋‍♀️ Martina

[@viktorsbonsai]

Nice little tree! What variety of elm is it? ulmus minor?

[@BigBlock86]

Nice tree I have one question.Do you leave your cn elm outside during the winter? Thanks

[@Bonsaiandknives]

Oh man, you are seriously insured 😯. Growing bonsai is a dangerous job?

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂
