Thanks Matt. It's ready for its transformation into a bonsai now it's healthy and cut back to its bare bones I can start a fresh.

They will be fine Ray. They will be used with my tropicals which all come inside in the winter 👍🏼

Thanks man. There's so much to cut back into shape now though 😄

Yeah, I think it's because of the heat. The new grow has come out in red again now it's in more shade.

I totally agree with you. I've seen the benefits this year. All my trees are healthy and put on size nicely. ☺️

@@bonsaiexpression Your trees will be bursting with energy and vitality next year. Patience really pays of. Good luck with the move, will be looking forward to seeing your new garden. :-)

@gaiabonsaicornwall thank you. Can't wait now. The trees will love their new home 😁

Thanks for the warning Dave. All the fertilizer I'm using is mid range kph apart from the miracle gro which I use every 2 weeks which is a 20.20.20. everything has been fine so far but I will keep an eye out and adjust if I see anything out of the ordinary. Yes the first was my dawn redwood forest, it's coming on nicely now 😁

So I feed daily on liquid seaweed and miracle gro all purpose soluble plant food. As well as chicken manure and all purpose slow release pellets. The manure stinks but damn it's good. Plus I make my own, saving rain water and add cuttings from your trees and grass. Over time it produces a nitrogen rich water/feed for your trees. Again this gets stinky too. In Terms of surviving the winter I would make sure it has some sort of cover, a green house or polyhouse. Like the ones I have in my videos. That will get you through winter no worries. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the sub and welcome to the channel. I'm looking forward to growing this one too. Goes to show you don't need a lot to get started in the hobby. 😊

@@bonsaiexpression - Thank you for the knowledge-share!

☺️☺️

Thanks Alex, these types of projects mean that bit more to us as we've made them from the ground up. I wear gloves for a couple of reasons, 1. When working with muddy soils.. saves washing my hands continuously while filming, it doesn't dirty all the equipment. 2. When I have cuts or wounds from my job. I work in a restaurant so sometimes I'm in the kitchen and on occasion I've nipped my fingers with the knives. ( Or lost the end of a finger ) 🫣 It doesn't look good on camera having chunks of your fingers missing 😂😂😂

They are great trees, very different to the average. They make any collection better. 😊

@@bonsaiexpression The leaves are also unique, which adds to the charm of these trees.

@mikbonsai they are fascinating trees. Apparently they have been around since the dinosaurs. Pretty cool.

Thanks man, no worries now it's thriving.

Thanks Steve, it's going strong. Even after the root work at 10 degrees 😁

Thanks man. It's coming along nicely now. Just wish it would thicken up a bit quicker. Isn't that always the way? 😏

@@bonsaiexpression Yep, I understand the feeling - I've been putting more and more of my trees in the ground, partly for that reason. Turns out trees grow really well in the ground, like that's where they were meant to be!

I wish I had the space to put them in the ground. Hopefully when I move I might be able to have an area to do so

😁👍🏼

Thanks Darren. Not the shirt comment 🤣

Ain't that the truth. 🤣

Hi Frank. I use clay molar, spagnum moss, vermiculite and pine bark. I have a full video on my soil mix if you want to check it out. 👍🏼

Thanks Jason. I'm hopeful for some good growth now to hold its position. This could be a cool looking tree soon 😜

I did Jason. Well it was looking a bit sad but no wire at all 😁

That's a shame. I'm guessing it's just too hot for them over there. They are great trees, I've only recently started to have them in my collection and I'm glad I decided to get them.

Cheers Dave. Hopefully it starts to fatten up after I up-pot it come spring.

😁😁 thanks dude.

Thanks Xavier it's doing well. I love these trees. I'm thinking about planting some in the new garden at the new house 😁

Thanks Sandra. It's starting to get the flame silhouette, I would like some more growth in the trunk though. I think I'm going to up-pot in the spring to help with this.

Agreed 💯 sometimes even root from low branches. Such an easy and unique tree to play around with.

So true. 😁

Thanks man. It looks a lot better for it 😊

🤣🤣🤣

👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Thanks for watching Kevin. Making big decisions will lead to big results. Hopefully for the better 😊

Yeah they do Jesh. And when they turned out this good after a bit of work, I felt horrible for neglecting for so long. 🫣

Thanks Jesh 😊

It gets in the 30s here too sometimes but not too often and not for long. I would recommend keeping them in shaded or semi shaded areas in that heat if it's constant with plenty of water. They love water and they will do fine ☺️

@@bonsaiexpression Thaks very much!

@naturerelax3285 no worries. Good luck. Happy growing.

@@bonsaiexpression I'm so sorry to bother you again... I just saw that the next days the maximium degrees are going to be 40°C do i need to be worried? Usually my elm gets sunlight in the mornings so after that is shaded. Thank you again🤗

@naturerelax3285 they should be fine but I would try moving them into more shade if you get intense heat. You could always buy a shade cloth and put it up above your trees. Again watering is very important. Make sure you water more often and keep checking on your trees.

Thanks Jason. Sometimes being brutal works a treat 💪🏼

Many thanks ☺️

Thanks Mike. I think the air layer will be the bold cut 👍🏼

Thanks David. I feel like the air layer will be sooner rather than later.

Normally I would but I've got far too many Chinese Elms now from cuttings. They grow very easy and if I take any more my whole collection will just be Elms 🫣

@@bonsaiexpression elm clone army 😂 maybe you can trade them with others ? Or use them as presents until everyone is sick of them too 🤭

I would trade but there's no one near me to trade with unfortunately. I would love a few more larch.

@@bonsaiexpression sad 😞 I traded azalea cuttings for ficus 😅 ps: not sure about larches so… I had a European (Alps’ and Japanese one both died in the hot summer 2020 nearly instantly

@SandraOhmayer nice 👍🏼. One of my larch isn't doing too well with the heat. I'm hopeful it pulls through. But the others are all fine. ☺️ I think there temperature sensitive Sometimes. 🫣

Thanks Kevin 😁

Thanks. I'm trying to be consistent with the quality. ☺️

Good question. I use sprays. Just the ones I get from my local garden centres. I like to use 3 different types as It gives a better chance of keeping a wider range of pests at bay. Because of this I don't tend to suffer with pests. Now and then I get aphids on my elms but to be honest it's very rare as I use the sprays every couple of months as a preventative. I spray before I get the bugs.

@@bonsaiexpression Thank you for the information!!!

Hopefully 🤞🏼

Thank you. Come spring I can get into it properly. Look at pruning them roots and arranging in a larger pot.

You couldn't tell it had several trees in there. 🫣 It's well on its way now though l. Thanks Sandra. It's so stressful getting things organised.

Thank man but no it would be about 20 cents in USD 🤣🤣🤣

@@bonsaiexpression What!!? 20 cents!? I was happy for your good fortune, but now I'm just jealous.

@BonsaiNorthwest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Matt, appreciate it 😊

Thanks Steve. Think I'm going to need it. 😁

Exciting indeed and not just for the bonsai. 🤣 Yes the garden is 2x bigger and there's a garage I intend to convert to a small studio for filming so weather will never be an issue in the future. 😊
