Thanks so much man. Appreciate it!

Thanks so nice of you to say Darren. Remember you can thank me by clicking the "Thanks" button just below any of the videos.

Thanks so much! Well if it’s useful then I am very glad. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for appreciating them 😁

You're welcome!

Thank you kindly Herman!

Thanks Nigel!

Thanks Bradley! Very kind of you.

Thank you Sir!

Thank you Bob. Between conifers and deciduous, the deciduous is the tortoise! Very slow out the starting blocks, but man, after a number of years adding slowly but surely to the ramification it’s difficult to keep up. Thank you for the kind comment.

Exciting stuff! Enjoy the process.

That’s great @bonsaifly! Your patient dedication to it will be rewarded for sure.

Thank you very much. Sure, you can read www.bonsaitree.co.za/blogs/tree-talk/development-of-an-english-elm-bonsai

Glad you enjoyed it Xavier!

Thanks Sam, much appreciated. You growing some elm too? Wonderfully rewarding species to grow of course.

@@TerryErasmusbonsai I have 2. Yes that love our environment. Mine no where near your quality but one day 😀

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Mike, much appreciated Sir!

Thanks Oussama!

Definitely Arno. I have already completed that work weeks ago. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Quintin, I appreciate the suggestion - I’m all for getting feedback on the channel so thanks for that... but I’m not going to mention the date, only the season, which I usually do. I think it’s misleading to give a date, for the same reason I detest these silly calendars that circulate in bonsai circles eg repot in September, fertilize in August etc. Seasons are shifting so attaching them to a date is problematic. However I would prefer that people act on visual clues like buds swelling to indicate repotting or leaves changing colour to indicate final pruning etc, which is also why I try to remember to mention these clues in each video. Hope that explanation helps and thanks again for the feedback!

Thank you for your request! Unfortunately I’ve never grown this herb as a bonsai but I have seen some good ones and understand it is possible. I’m sorry but I am not in a position to teach something on this species as I don’t really know much about them myself.

@@TerryErasmusbonsai Thank you That's okay, my respect and appreciation for you 

Thank you very much.

Hi Paul. Thanks for the question. I’d like to think that I am not limited to any particular style and if you watch my channel you will see that I have trees in many different styles, it just depends on the material I am working with. Moreover I am a student of Japanese bonsai. The style of this tree is inspired by deciduous trees I have worked on there during my training and have appreciated at countless exhibitions there. You did not say though, do you appreciate this tree for what it is or not ?

@@TerryErasmusbonsai It's a beautiful tree and I can appreciate both types of aesthetic, both naturalistic and the stylised Japanese approach you showcase here in this Elm. It has excellent quality: mature bark, good nebari, tapering branches with good movement and the ramification will just get better every season. I like your channel especially because of the field grown dynamic which has been my approach for 30 odd years now. You could probably build a trunk in half the time than I could here in the UK. It's currently 18C, rainy and gloomy in Yorkshire at the start of Summer.

Haha i came here for this. Thanks for the vids Terry!

Guys the jokes on me as I am clueless about what you are referring to. Who is Peter?

@@TerryErasmusbonsai Herons Bonsai in England. Peter Chan has quite the youtube channel 😊

@@mattimikkonen8669 sure I know Peter Chan. Are you saying I used the same music? It’s off iMovie. If he’s using it too I’ll definitely use something different next time.

I don’t think anyone minds mate. I quite like the bluesy piano riff that you use

No. Never heard of that technique. I use putty sealer only. How do you apply fungicide to cut scars, that’s interesting?

@@TerryErasmusbonsai in 1 bottle(in 1 brand product) there are 3 ingredient : cambium ointment + growth regulator + fungicide • just apply

@@potreliefbonsaibatu5035 oh I understand now. The sealers I use are for plants and will contain all that you mentioned. Your original question suggested you meant a fungicide liquid like you spray on. Thanks for clarifying.

@@TerryErasmusbonsai I also just understood about putty sealer 👍💚😊😉😅
