I guess once the bonsai bug bites you're in for a ride... I was picking up food Saturday for my wife and while I was waiting for the food I decided to walk the area around the area. The place is right next to a ravine, and sometimes get water rushing down when they get heavy rains. There were quite a few interesting trees, but nothing I would think it was worth the extra effort to collect. Then as I was reaching the end of the fence I noticed this little guy. The base of the trunk is around 5-6" wide and have some nice movement. Buds are not swelling, but neither are any of the hundreds of little and full size elms around the area. I talked to the property owner and she ok'd me lifting it up.
I'm probably going to go over there during the weekend and wanted to know if they area as hardy as the Chinese elm when it comes to root work, and if I should reduce the branches at this time to help balance the root mass I can lift without damage to the top.
