Mother/daughter on an Erin pottery tray...

[Cadillactaste]

Love elm...this one needs to thicken and build structure. And yes...its in a shallow tray. My first elm came from Jason Schley in and shallow pot and in 3 years time...I had the structure properly set. I'm not needing to beef the trunks. I wish it to remain feminine. So let's get that elephant out in the open.

I was really sick when this pairing took place. These are much nicer than my initial snap shot to document it.

Still relatively young on its bonsai journey. But the potential to be more is so there. Love how it reaches out past the tray its planted in.

I love elms too! You have a real beauty here.

Thank ya kindly. Looked up the previous owner's image. The trees were further apart...and growing away from each other. Which was quite peculiar . Being in the same pot. Unless later added. Unsure there. But I moved them closer together and made their growth pattern more cohesive. Also shortened the mother tree.

Screenshot of a clip I posted to Instagram. Forgot a still shot. Shaped it back up today.

My elm collection of...seven total. They all have been golden yellow. This red...hint of fall made my highlight of the day. A first fall season it will be with me on the bench. I'm excited to see it change into a bold red.
