Never having or worked on a Chinese Elm I am a little worried on what to do with this because I don't know their limits. The branch structure is horrid. This tree came from New England Bonsai (had a tag stuck in the pot) and I am not very happy with it. There was so much steel wire left on this tree and it was imbedded in all the branches.
I saw a video of someone cutting all the branches off their tree and starting over. I am considering this.
Also considering layering a few inches above the twist in the lower trunk and using the lower part as some funky broom style then using the top half as a formal upright or what ever is possible after it grows out.
I have several other pictures of this tree on another post. Didn't see the point in uploading more of the same thing.
Oh and something I could not find out is do Chinese elms like humidity? Would it benefit from being in my enclosed tank?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks Kevin
