Almost 60 year old elm cutting

[bonsaibp]

That is one great tree! I briefly brought this type of bonsai culture up in a previous thread and.... well.... " slapped up side the head" is what I remember. Anyway, I appreciate the history of this tree. I have several trees in my collection that were started from cuttings and have been growning in pots for nearly 60+ years. I love seeing trees like this one. I particularly like elms. I have several 60+ year old junipers growing in the ground all around me. I enjoy old junipers and pines in bonsai culture too. However, starting a tree from a cutting or seedling and developing into a bonsia, to me this is an art form that is something totally different. Thanks for sharing!

That's why bonsaist's get hard heads.
I can't take any credit for growing it the last 60 years, I've only had it about a year.
