Bart, jhill, Matt, Grampz, David & Ralph, thanks!

I've learnt a lot about Ulmus parviflora from caring for this tree in the last year, and had good fun doing so.

During repotting I was able to remove a large root, about 5 inches long and 1 inch diameter, from the underside of the rootball. This allowed me to get the tree nice and low in the new pot. It could still do with going a bit lower, I should be able to do that at the next repot in 2 years' time.

Regards,

TB

Hi Chris,

You have turned a crappy mallsai in a beautiful bonsai in only a year. Very well done and congratulations ! The new pot is a big improvement.

regards, René
