Mine never seemed to mind root work at the appropriate time, had it in a fairly shallow pot for 10 plus years. If your picture is current they seem to be an acceptable time for root work, however I'm not aware of your climate/USDA zone

If they are nursery stock which appears to be the case, the taproot situation is irrelevant, it only pertains to wild collected material. I had a large specimen for years, very easy to care for except our climate occasionally got way too cold and I didn't protect it adequately.

The things I love about bonsai people is they are kind, considerate, helpful, curious, friendly, supportive and basically all the good adjectives.

This is a Japanese White pine DSD, so no decandling per se.

Very nice transformation of difficult material, I could see the tallest right trunk being shorter allowing the trunks over the base to become the apex

Welcome back, your Highness. I'm sorry for your loss, it's no fun losing our parents. Trees are looking great'

Sorry to hear of Vance's passing

You sir, are an Evil Genius, but the good kind!!!!!

No peanuts, bed of closed cel foam, sides same, 1" thick foam, foam insert in large pot and foam spacers hot glued to secure small pots from moving at all, then topped with another sheet of 1" foam. Crazy attention to detail.

Finally got some ABCarve art work! very nice pots, and the packing? bomb proof. Thanks David I've admired your work for years, ecstatic to own some.

If I'm not mistaken think @Brian Van Fleet Stewartia came from D&E

Nice move, like negative space you opened up.

Yes please

Dan Robinson frequently puts conifers in blue/green glazed pots

Excellent Mr. Lee!

Prunus of some type, plum is a good bet

Don't remember that twisty pine sir, is it new?

I love ginko too, but after seeing pix of most of the trees there were plenty of better deciduous trees, like the clump style JM or the Informal upright Korean hornbeam, IMO.

Just out of curiosity which tree did win BIS ?

Definitely noticed

Agreed, if brown and withered not providing the tree with anything, I also have heard the leaves remain in place to protect new buds, definitely wouldn't pull the leaves, could damage buds, if they bother you, best to cut as dbonsaiw said.

WTF???

Yes in theory, although probably best to wait until spring just before it starts to really take off.

Very ingenious, now you just need some sheet metal chutes to direct the flow more efficiently into your bins!

If you put your location and climate info in your profile you will get better and more appropriate advice. Most folks will say Chinese Elm should be grown outside, myself included, however some people are successful growing them indoors. No reason not to trim if it is actively growing.
