jaquline hillier elms

doody

I have 4 jaqueline hillier elms, but I have only seen one as bonsai. Can anyone tell me where to see more of these done as bonsai? I am more or less looking for inspiration. As for care, I have been treating them as chinese elms, and they have been doing very well. Can anyone help?

Formally pete,

You think that this Jaqueline hillier lady misses her trees? You took four does she have any left? Sorry... sorry .. mind.. boggling


I have some of hers too I must admit. Medium fast grower,quick to trunk thicken, quick wound healer, likes hot weather, super short internodes, leaves in tight little rows like soldiers, growth upon growth, its madness.

I defoiliate twice a year, to keep hers in order. Make great shohin, little mushroom style.


Just treat otherswise like like a big version of seiju or hokaiddo. Always thinning, Ben Oki says 100 cuts a weeks or was that a month, O who can tell what hes saying anyway...
