Ralph,

I think this bonsai would look great by just extending some of the lower branching and keeping the same, initial shape. A quick virtual is attached. I think this elm can give the illusion of an aged decidious tree with little effort. Very natural looking.

For the pot, a light-colored, maybe cream, glazed (speckled?) oval, fairly shallow, no lip, would be my preference.

John
