Little details like this aren't talked about much for us beginners. Very helpful. Thanks.

This is hands-down the best bonsai pruning video on KZfaq. I’ve been searching for this type of information for weeks and nobody explains it. Hallelujah.

I have learned more in these 10 minutes than I have learned in dozens of other videos I have watched. Thank you!

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.

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!

one of the first videos that I have seen that have explained directional pruning clearly and simply. thanks

@BamaNewb 4 жыл бұрын

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'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.

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.
