    This is hands-down the best bonsai pruning video on RUclips. I’ve been searching for this type of information for weeks and nobody explains it. Hallelujah.

    This is probably the plainest, most essential guide to deciduous in general that I've ever seen and I appreciate it so much. This is elm/beech/zelkova Course 101 on the syllabus. Everyone who wants to prune-and-grow to shape their trees needs to see this.

    I'll admit I haven't looked really hard (yet), but I'd love to see you post a video on how to encourage a Chinese Elm's trunk to thicken. I really like the way you do your presentations, too. You aren't "looking down your nose" at all us amateurs and newbies, you're not snobby or authoritarian. Very down-to-earth, folksy and give the impression you're genuinely trying to be helpful without coming off like you're God's gift to the Bonsai world and you're doing the universe a vast favor by imparting your wisdom and knowledge. Thanks a bunch. I've already downloaded several of your videos for ongoing references to augment my growing library of books!
