  I really like that you show all your work. Not just things that worked well and are perfect but also the failings and imperfect parts of bonsaing. Please keep going😏

  Elms are amazingly tough. I cut off the bottom of a cork bark elm's rootball when I repotted it, and instead of disposing of the disk of roots I'd removed, I potted it up to see what would happen. 60+ trunks popped up, which I reduced to 11 for a forest planting. I'm gradually removing the surface soil to expose the connected root structure to illustrate that it's not a typical forest planting, but a true "kabudachi." The last time I repotted this forest, I again cut off the bottom of the root ball and potted it, and now have another kabudachi forest planting in development. This all started from an air layer, so it's a third generation clone.

  Really interesting gardendori! Great to see the main tree thrive - truly, the rest is a bonus. Can't wait for the styling!

  Hi Jelle, about the root stump cutting that didn't make it, this year I started bagging--not just covering--my cuttings. (Putting the cuttings and pot down into the clear bag, and wiring the the top closed.) Amazed at the success rate. But watch out for mold, which I treat by brushing on 3% hydrogen peroxide. Thanks for the great content!

  Nice to see how this turned out. I'm pleased to say all of last years dig trees happily survived.  But having seen this video I am definitely going to leave my chinese elm in the gorund for  a few more years and let it develop a decent trunk and base.  Maybe recover it in 2025???
