This video shows a bonsai technique that you can do to make your trunk base look older and more mature. It is a long process that can take a whole year, or in some cases 2 years for trees that root more slowly, like pines.

Ground layering allows you to choose a new trunk base and change the planting angle if needed. Doing a ground layer also has the advantage of thickening up the lower trunk base, giving the bonsai more taper in the trunk, which again gives the illusion of a much older tree.

There's nobody doing it quite like you Dave. I'm always excited to watch your content. Love the music choice, love your clarity. Keep up the good work!

It's like you are time traveling. The amount of background work & time needed for bonsai videos is insane.

Hard to believe a material that seems ugly to many people turned into a really graceful bonsai. This is magic. Thank you much for another informative and detail-explaining video 👍

Great work Dave. I’m sure it was super satisfying to chop and saw off those old roots after that long wait. Getting rid of that inverse taper has really improved how it looks too!

Bought a commercially grown Chinese Elm 7 years ago when I got into Bonsai. It is my favorite tree but the nebari is nonexistent. Now that I have some experience and know what tremendously strong growers Chinese elms are I decided to try improving the trunk using the method in this video. Your instructions and thorough demonstration of this technique inspired me to give it a try. Best demonstration of this technique I have found on any channel. Thank you for taking the time and effort to record and share your bonsai expertise!
