a_rookies_elm

I've seen just a couple of your trees here...I' m fascinated. Don't wanna to touch you, not WP, but another German giant arising. I will wait to see all your trees comming here with pleasure. This is a piece of cake I can.
 
i am so pleased of youre comments petegreg and jacos,
but do not overetsimate me.
i am just a guy, who is trying to cope with native material,
because i got not that money to buy me better ...
sorry, i am not a giant at all ... and my garden is not either ...
my trees are talking very silently ...
fell kinda ashamed you confidencing me ... :(:oops:

no over estimation, you have talent and that should not be pushed aside. I've enjoyed all of your threads so far, I think if you tried, you most likely could make this your business as well as passion.

thank you so kind of you,
but i think in my personal case, bonsai will always stay passion (hobby).
never thought about it ...
why?
because i want to eat ... ;)
sorry again, but you are overestimating my "homegrow".
i am living in the very north of germany. no good conifers out there.
1000 miles further north (or south) there are some.
therefore i aint got spectacular conifer-raw-material.
that would be the stuff highly appreciated ...
anyway, thank you so much for your support!!!

Agree, definitely. There's an uncountable number of posts in every forum, but these trees are different, pleasing my poor soul. Beauty of nature?, no, yes talent, both altogether. Every1 sees the world different way, that yours is simply original.
I've got much less space on my crammed balcony, but a vision to move to the house with garden within 6 years. Keep rolling, Arnold.

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.

Wow, kudos (means praise) for a great looking tree. You "bonsai-fellows" are not just staying in Walter Pall's steps, you're creating your own steps. Like Pall's ability/willingness to teach/coach/share his work with others, you have shown us the progression from a possible lack of understanding of what to use to start a bonsai (including opinions at the time of the steps taken), then completely changed the tree to a stunning specimen to be proud of. Great job. Hope you stick around b-nut and continue to share how to convert a foible into a stunning work of art, and that you will also show what a good start looks like and its progression to better. Thanks again for sharing.
 
Arnold, we live in similar climate... So I'd like to ask you sth from horticulture... regarding CHE.
How do you keep your tree over winter? I keep them in a cold light room, out of frost. But was told it could have an impact on their life span. What's your opinion and how do you do it? Thank you.
 
jomowa, thank you for your nice comment.

indeed it had not been a good start with this elm.
i mean it was definitely not good material to start with.
i think i learnt by the years to select better raw material.
(if you might have seen my elder-posting) ...
in my bonsaiworld it is very important to imagine the trees outcome
in future.
if i had the money to by me trees that are professionally prepared (ore nearly done),
i would not need this "future-view" ...
 
Very nice. Shows what one can accomplish with good technique and time, even with less than ideal material.
