    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!
