Here, as a debut on Bonsai Nut, comes the story of an elm.
First of all I have to declare, that simply everything I want to express with bonsai is connected to Walter Pall.
His philosophy of designing trees is my way, regardless wether I worked that out so far or not.
And please forgive me everybody, for my lousy english writing ! ...
This picture shows how it begun in 1997:
As a matter of fact I was the opinion, that this elm would be good raw material.
Nowadays I think, it was just a rookies mistake to collect such an ugly slinge
...
Beginners often do not look at the nebari and tachiagari, but they think the crown of the tree is very attractive and already close to a bonsai-appeal. I also was this strong conviction in 1996.
In 2006 my bonsai-fellows and me decided to cut off the right subtrunk.
After this first basic styling, I utterly spoiled the design of the tree.
Flat leaf-pads on a deciduous tree is in direct contradiction to the natural habitus of such trees.
Sorry, I did not know it better that days, just another bonsai-crime ...
The development within 4 years.
The tree's lok of today:
Improvement of the design will be made in early spring.
To much twigs, too roundish shape and so on ...
Cheers, so long folks
