Hey guys, sorry for being new.
I have recently bought two little chinese elms, the smaller one i bought from eBay to see how I liked bonsai - and then the larger I bought because it was lonely in a bargain box in a local store (for $10/£5, I am in the UK)
Anyway
I am concerned that my little trees are looking a little shabby, I wanst to prune them and I think the larger one will be an okay triangle shaed tree and the smaller one i think will fit into a broom shape... but i am not that good at making things look nice...
what do you think
any good places to read for pruning advise... i would rather have raggedy tress than dead ones, so i am being cautious...
they seem healthy enough, i am water about once or twice a day whenever the top of the soil is dry... they live on a window sill and will be getting a decent amount of sun at the moment, but that wont last... i live in Scotland!!!
thanks in advance guy
