Little details like this aren't talked about much for us beginners. Very helpful. Thanks.
I have learned more in these 10 minutes than I have learned in dozens of other videos I have watched. Thank you!
This is hands-down the best bonsai pruning video on KZread. I’ve been searching for this type of information for weeks and nobody explains it. Hallelujah.
one of the first videos that I have seen that have explained directional pruning clearly and simply. thanks
I’ve been putting off pruning my first Chinese elm because I was scared of messing it up, but this video has helped so much and is very informative! Thank you 👍🏼🌿
Very helpful. You told where to cut and why, this was not clear from anyone else. I know understand how to have some control over how it will grow and develop. Thank you.
This video is so helpful in explaining directional pruning; where to cut and not to cut. Mahalo!
Great tutorial, thanks so much, I'm a total beginner after receiving an elm for xmas, it's busy getting hairy - so I'll just let it be, but now feel confident when it's ready to trim!
Definitely the best instructional video channel. Thanks
Best instructional video I have found. Tired of theory...I need how to meat and potatoes. Thanks.
WOW! When I read in other places or other videos to cut back to 2 sets of leaves no one says make sure there is wood. I've been cutting back green shoots for 5 years. 😊😊😊 THANK YOU THANK YOU
I just bought a small Seiju Chinese elm and it started growing crazily. You're my first bonsai video I've ever watched - thank you so much for making it no nonsense! :)
Very helpful for the first time Chinese elm bonsai grower. Thanks!
This is probably the plainest, most essential guide to deciduous in general that I've ever seen and I appreciate it so much. This is elm/beech/zelkova Course 101 on the syllabus. Everyone who wants to prune-and-grow to shape their trees needs to see this.
So helpful, all the little details you went over make a difference to us that are just starting out
really enjoy the way you explain in detail all your Bonsais
Great video, i dont normally comment on tutorial vids but this deserves a like. Covered most of the questions i have about my new elm. Thanks
Thank you, this is one of the most informative Chinese Elm videos. I appreciate alk the detailed tips throughout the demonstration.
This has helped me loads. I’ve been trying to learn this stuff for years and you have just taught me so much in this short video.
This has to be the best video I have found on how to cut the chinese elm, I will forward this on to many beginners when they ask thank you
I've been pruning my chinese elms incorrectly for years now. I didn't kill them, but wondered why I was having trouble with ramification. I didn't always prune only where there was wood. This was very helpful, very clear.
The extra information and reasoning behind the decisions you make are very helpful for the ones of us just starting this journey. Thank you for your videos. They are great.
I learned a lot about my Chinese Elm . Thanks!!
This is brillant teaching learnt so much,thanks.
Awesome video, very helpful as a beginner
Thanks so much at last a wonderfully clear video for beginners,
Brilliant! very clear and easy to understand instructions. Would love to see more videos like this. Many thanks.

Another great video. Specially for us beginners. I've subscribed. Thank you
Great quality videos mate. I've started about a year ago with a chinese elm and did a lot a research on it. None of these enormously useful tips showed up. Congratulations and you've got yourself a new subscriber
Awesome. Most practical info I've had yet. I was gifted a Chinese Elm and lhave no idea how to maintain. :)
This was actually very valuable information for me! By sheer coincidence I am getting a Chinese Elm for my first Bonsai attempt. I would have never known ANY of this stuff!
You do a great job a teaching the right way to care for the bonsai,, thanks 🙌
Thanks for making this video :) Just got my first teeny tiny 12 inches tall Chinese Elm and today was the first time I needed to prune it. Your simple, logical tips were really helpful. Except now I want to get a much more interesting sized one ;)
Very helpful! The 10 minutes flew by like a trance
Very very helpful, thank you very much.

Good video Jason. It was most helpful. I can't wait to get outside and start trimming our Chinese Elms.

My daughters just got me my first Bonsai tree for father's day; a Chinese elm. I have no idea what I'm doing, so your videos come in incredibly handy. Thank you ever so much! 🙏🏼😌🌳

No, I'm sorry to report that the bonsai died on me. I'm not cut out for that kind of thing. 😔

Thank you ever so much, @@Wedge53! Yes, I am very fortunate with my daughters. One of them bought the exact same bonsai for herself when they bought mine and it died too. 🙄 I'll stick to cooking. 😉
Thanks for the video! I've just got a tiny Chinese elm bonsai for Mother's Day, my first bonsai. It definitely needs some pruning. Your advises are very helpful.
Thanks great video, short and very good useful info, and details.
Thanks for explaining basic pruning concepts

This was extremely helpful! I just bought a Chinese Elm from you guys earlier in May. and it's a bit rough right now, but I think with the tips provided, I can craft this tree into a great little example!
Spectacular video. Prob one of the most informative I've come across, regarding on where to cut and why. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect video for me I’ve had an elm for a couple of years and was super lost on what to do with it but now I’m going to follow these techniques and feel confident that I can make something of it cheers mate
Great video, this is what I call use for information.
Glad I stumbled across this. Thank you.
You explain very well. Good job.
best tips so far how to prune a bonsai, really great!
I'll admit I haven't looked really hard (yet), but I'd love to see you post a video on how to encourage a Chinese Elm's trunk to thicken. I really like the way you do your presentations, too. You aren't "looking down your nose" at all us amateurs and newbies, you're not snobby or authoritarian. Very down-to-earth, folksy and give the impression you're genuinely trying to be helpful without coming off like you're God's gift to the Bonsai world and you're doing the universe a vast favor by imparting your wisdom and knowledge. Thanks a bunch. I've already downloaded several of your videos for ongoing references to augment my growing library of books!

on any bonsai to thicken the trunk you can plant it in the ground for a while and it will thicken the truck
Your video has helped me out tremendously! I recently purchased a Chinese elm bonsai and your video is very informative! Thank you!
Much appreciated looking forward to putting this into practise !
Great tips and advice thankyou
Really helpful! Thank you for that. I am new to bonsai, but I am really enjoying learning all about them. The Chinese elm was my starter plant. I now have a couple of maples.
Thank you so much. Received a Grand Chinese Elm for Christmas that's leaves turned yellow and fell off. (shipped from Calif to Florida) Could have sent back but am determined to get it healthy again. Your tutorial is fabulous---thank you!
