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.
Very helpful. You told where to cut and why, this was not clear from anyone else. I know understand how to have some control over how it will grow and develop. Thank you.
I’ve been putting off pruning my first Chinese elm because I was scared of messing it up, but this video has helped so much and is very informative! Thank you 👍🏼🌿
Great tutorial, thanks so much, I'm a total beginner after receiving an elm for xmas, it's busy getting hairy - so I'll just let it be, but now feel confident when it's ready to trim!
I just bought a small Seiju Chinese elm and it started growing crazily. You're my first bonsai video I've ever watched - thank you so much for making it no nonsense! :)
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.
The extra information and reasoning behind the decisions you make are very helpful for the ones of us just starting this journey. Thank you for your videos. They are great.
WOW! When I read in other places or other videos to cut back to 2 sets of leaves no one says make sure there is wood. I've been cutting back green shoots for 5 years. 😊😊😊 THANK YOU THANK YOU
Had my Elm for quite some time but now I clearly understand the technique for pruning my elm tree. Great video with great instructions. Well done on this certainly subscribed.
Great quality videos mate. I've started about a year ago with a chinese elm and did a lot a research on it. None of these enormously useful tips showed up. Congratulations and you've got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you so much for this informative video! I am new to Bonsai and I just purchased a Chinese Elm. Now I know how to properly trim her! I love your videos, thank you again for keeping us informed.
This was extremely helpful! I just bought a Chinese Elm from you guys earlier in May. and it's a bit rough right now, but I think with the tips provided, I can craft this tree into a great little example!
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!
My daughters just got me my first Bonsai tree for father's day; a Chinese elm. I have no idea what I'm doing, so your videos come in incredibly handy. Thank you ever so much! 🙏🏼😌🌳
Thank you ever so much, @@Wedge53! Yes, I am very fortunate with my daughters. One of them bought the exact same bonsai for herself when they bought mine and it died too. 🙄 I'll stick to cooking. 😉
Thanks for the video! I've just got a tiny Chinese elm bonsai for Mother's Day, my first bonsai. It definitely needs some pruning. Your advises are very helpful.
This was actually very valuable information for me! By sheer coincidence I am getting a Chinese Elm for my first Bonsai attempt. I would have never known ANY of this stuff!
Thanks for making this video :) Just got my first teeny tiny 12 inches tall Chinese Elm and today was the first time I needed to prune it. Your simple, logical tips were really helpful. Except now I want to get a much more interesting sized one ;)
Really helpful! Thank you for that. I am new to bonsai, but I am really enjoying learning all about them. The Chinese elm was my starter plant. I now have a couple of maples.
I've been pruning my chinese elms incorrectly for years now. I didn't kill them, but wondered why I was having trouble with ramification. I didn't always prune only where there was wood. This was very helpful, very clear.
Perfect video for me I’ve had an elm for a couple of years and was super lost on what to do with it but now I’m going to follow these techniques and feel confident that I can make something of it cheers mate
excellent, learned so much, will be looking for your other videos and future ones. i'm ordering a much smaller one with not as much leaves. Hoping to get into bonsai more.
Thank you!! That was the best and most informative video on the Chinese Elm I’ve seen yet. I now feel confident I can have my little bonsai looking better. Subscribed 👍🏻
amazing and informative videos! I have just started taking care of my own bonsai tree and your videos are the best! thank you so much for taking the time to post these great tips
VERY helpful. Thanks so much! I'm going to share on the Bonsai for Beginners facebook page. We've been talking today about pruning the Chinese Elm. I am excited to start doing this right! I was just clipping the ends.
Very helpful, I have just purchased my first Chinese elm/ Allee tree and it is about 2' tall and very hairy as you say. I will use these tips to clean it up. I am in the south Florida area and hope my tree does well.
Thanks for this video, I'm waiting for my first Chinese elm, it will arrive in 3 days, and i started to investigate about care and a good life for them, you are very helpful 🙂👍
Thank you so much. Received a Grand Chinese Elm for Christmas that's leaves turned yellow and fell off. (shipped from Calif to Florida) Could have sent back but am determined to get it healthy again. Your tutorial is fabulous---thank you!
Really helpful vid. I neglect my pruning out of fear of doing something wrong. Pretty wild and messy at the moment. Would love to see the tree in the video as it is today and see how is developed.
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.
Little details like this aren't talked about much for us beginners. Very helpful. Thanks.

I have learned more in these 10 minutes than I have learned in dozens of other videos I have watched. Thank you!
Very helpful. You told where to cut and why, this was not clear from anyone else. I know understand how to have some control over how it will grow and develop. Thank you.

on any bonsai to thicken the trunk you can plant it in the ground for a while and it will thicken the truck
My daughters just got me my first Bonsai tree for father's day; a Chinese elm. I have no idea what I'm doing, so your videos come in incredibly handy. Thank you ever so much! 🙏🏼😌🌳
How's the tree so far, has it grown?
Hope your Elm is doing well.
No, I'm sorry to report that the bonsai died on me. I'm not cut out for that kind of thing. 😔
@@JensGraikowski Kiss your daughters for they love you very much.
Perhaps try an evergreen bonsai. Junipers are more forgiving.
Enjoy your day.
Thank you ever so much, @@Wedge53! Yes, I am very fortunate with my daughters. One of them bought the exact same bonsai for herself when they bought mine and it died too. 🙄 I'll stick to cooking. 😉

Much appreciated looking forward to putting this into practise !
Thanks for explaining basic pruning concepts
Great job Jason. Very helpful. Thanks a lot. I would also love to see a video on how to prune a Fukien Tea to develop the pads too.
second on the Fukien Tea... would love a tutorial on that.
It is a very helpful video thank you so much, can you plz let us know how can we encourage elm to grow new branch on the main trunk.
Good info. Especially in regards to only pruning in the woody area of the branch.
Very helpful thanks for the info. Just got given a 7years old chinese elm bonsai for my birthday. Her name is Tomoe Gozen.
Thanks! Very helpful for beginners.
