No, I have two cork elms that are older. This is the larger one and the one in the old intro is the smaller one. The smaller one has a low branch on the left that makes up half the tree.
very nice and extremely educational. What do you do with color balance/calibration. The yellows seem a little subdue in the picture as compared to the video. Similarly, the background is more gray (picture) vs looking whiter in the video.
I love the video’s and the snapshots . have you ever thought about starting your own calendar through the year with bonsai . I bet your club could make some extra bucks to help out with the things you all need there. Just saying 😊. I love your channel and have learned so much about what to and not to do with a lot of trees. I know this was a year ago and somehow I missed it but I’m glad I found it very interesting. Only downside is that I don’t own a cork bark they are so beautiful anyway thank you keep up the great work.
Living in Florida where it doesn't get cold enough for fall color, I found you can simulate fall color by putting the tree in a spot with reduced sun exposure, like up against a fence. Worked with an elm before.
Wonderful tree! I’ve got a Chinese Cork Bark Elm as well. It’s a fairly nice tree but I’m having a hard time building dense ramification. It’s got a great start, but the last two growing seasons I feel have not been particularly productive. How many times do you cut back in the growing season? Do you pay close attention to the bifurcation or just trim back to the silhouette? Annnnd do you defoliate or partially defoliate or neither? Thanks ahead of time for the help! I’m not very experienced with Chinese elm, or much deciduous at all if I’m being completely honest.
I trim them a couple times per year, and normally because we have cool summers I do not defoliate completely. I do sometimes do an "exterior" partial defoliation - basically removing all the strong larger leaves on the outer half of the tree. But this is only when the tree is strong and growing well.
Such a killer tree!!! I have a Corticosa that has developed some severe reverse taper at first branch. Have you had any success air layering cork bark elms?
Ha, actually, this was air layered for the exact reason about 12 years ago. After that it was ground grown for a while again to improve the taper in the upper third of the trunk. Then in a box, then a bonsai pot finally. You can see some of the history on the bonsaify blog: www.bonsaify.com/blogs/phutu-blog/formative-work-on-an-elm-bonsai Ring the bark, use rooting hormone. Keep it warm, best timing is mid spring I think. Separate only once you have a good mass of roots.
Uh, well that would depend on where you live. Because plants don't easily move between countries, you'll need to look near you - even in CA we sometimes have problems getting things from other states. Where do you live?
We can ship to Texas, but at the moment we don't have any cork elms for sale. We are working on some though. Unfortunately, if you're looking for more than a starter size tree, it's difficult to find online I think. (actually haven't looked tbh.)
Foist!
Lol.
Just killing the thumbnails!! A really good video!
It’s that there Nigel spreading the bonsai love and support. Foist to comment on your comment 😂
@@TheBonsaiGarden Noice!
The tree looks ancient & big without the leaves. Perhaps the leaf size needs to be proportionally smaller.
Wow what. A beautiful tree would love to find something that reselmbles or could turn into this in sweden hehe
ok. i removed all the foilage from my white pine. where can i submit the fotos ? 🥳🤪
ps: the leaf blower seems broken. the leafs all stick everywhere 😟
🤦♂️ 😬
Aussie Dave here, a well presented video 🤗. Very impressive trimming and style..🤗
Mantap kawan👍👍👍
Fantastic
Is this tree number three in your intro of spinning trees?
No, I have two cork elms that are older. This is the larger one and the one in the old intro is the smaller one. The smaller one has a low branch on the left that makes up half the tree.

Amazing insight to the display and artistic elements of fall leaves. Thank you for taking the time to show them.

Very compliments beautiful tree!👏👏👏🙂
Oh by the way I live in Connecticut and the colors this year were outstanding 😊
Beautiful specimen!

@@Bonsaify Im going to try it. Thank you
Where can I buy a Chinese cork bark elm? Pre bonsai works?!
Uh, well that would depend on where you live. Because plants don't easily move between countries, you'll need to look near you - even in CA we sometimes have problems getting things from other states. Where do you live?
@@Bonsaify Texas! I have oaks and elms and they do good here! Just been looking for a cork one!
We can ship to Texas, but at the moment we don't have any cork elms for sale. We are working on some though. Unfortunately, if you're looking for more than a starter size tree, it's difficult to find online I think. (actually haven't looked tbh.)
@@iPheek What part of Texas? Houston here.
@@Bonsaify ah haha I’ll wait patiently for one! When the time is right one will come to me!
Could you put the tree in the fridge a week or so early to force it to color up earlier?
Most likely I'll board it at a friends place in Marin county or the east bay where it is just slightly colder at night in the fall. That should do it.
@@Bonsaify It would look great on one of my benches! 😊
