Elm Semi-cascade In Stonemonkey Pot
Last week a parcel arived for me. Inside was this little crescent pot from bonsaiTALK member Stonemonkey. The pot is a little cracker, with a wonderful colour and shape.
I has a chinese elm kicking around with a very straight parallel trunk and a low branch. I pruned the trunk off and what was left fitted quite nicely into the pot. I am not showing this as a finished composition, the tree needs some more work yet. Any suggestions as to how to proceed are welcome. Thanks again for the pot Andy. Regards, Chris.

I take it this is a good thing. We need a definition for Treebeard's Dictionary of Concise English Slang though... Regards, Matt

Matt, Yeah, that's a good thing...
Will, pure serendipity that the two match. When it stops raining here I will wire it. Regards, Chris.

Mr. Tree-herder:
Since you welcomed suggestions, I will mention that I think I saw this line in your tree which may be interesting. It's hard to tell in 2-D, so I may just be confuse. Anyway, if this line is there, it may be a cool idea to reduce the trunk to this line and have a low-lying, rounded crown coming out from here. FWIW, pootsie |
