Cork Bark Chinese Elm

[BobbyLane]

This is a lovely Cork bark elm i picked up recently, not really done much with it apart from tidying up the structure....

i did re pot it and changed the front, the old front was off to the side,

That’s a sweet looking tree.

Awesome spooky elm, but where's the obligatory matching full sized tree photo?!? I always love your ability to match your bonsai to natural trees.

Really nice tree Bobby, I like that a lot.

Maybe this

Tremendous character and apparent age from all angles. You have a real talent for creating this sort of image from deciduous material.

thanks but i wouldnt take the credit for building this, it's a recent purchase. this was imported from japan by previous owner around 1-2 years ago. i'll take the credit for picking it out though

And presenting the new front, which is far nicer!

Agreed...tons of character! Nice...

You have chosen what I think probably is the best front.

Nice tree, and nice tree and pot combo.

Thanks guys, this is the pot it came in...decided to keep in this pot but just change the angle and replenish most of the the old akadama with a fresh mix.
