Hi Dave so sorry for the loss I’m well aware of that sad feeling! I lost quite a few this past winter. Your Forrest are nice and healthy they will thrive this season. Is a pleasure to see you Happy back in your element and cutting away…I ‘m hoping for a fun Summer even with El Niño predicament’s! Enjoy your time off my friend and make the best of it as you always have done. Ricardo

Always sad to relegate a tree to the bonsai graveyard, but the elm forests are looking great. Time to get to my elms and zelkovas. Cheers Dave. Nice video as always

It’s always so impressive to watch how quickly you can tear into and out of a tree. Like Edward Scissorhands in there, your decision making is just so quick and spot on. Good call on the shade for the elms. And I’m diggin the spinning tree transitions! (Hehe) That stinks the critters got your Chinese elm, brother. Looking forward to your summer project, brother!!!

what a super video. ita always enjoyable for me watching s fellow bonsai nut developing trees and just having a great time pruning away. nice work mate

Great looking forests. All three. A lot of work done to them which makes them very cool. Maybe the dead looking tree will survive for you. Nice giving it a try to save it. Sad loss on the Ming. I know how you feel losing a tree.

Dave, you are going to have to get a greenhouse to keep all those critters away from your trees!! I love the house Wrens in the background, we have them here too!!

Aww sorry for the disaster on the trees. I am a bit sensitive person myself and the (potential) loss of a tree really makes me really sad and often angry too as I blame myself to not taken the necessary steps to prevent the damage. Your forests looks to thrive and we will wait anticipation for the future development. 😊

What a fantastic update on those Elms and I am sure you are already enjoying the summer break. For some reason I lost sight of your channel on my feed but thakfully that has now been rectified and I have some major catch up to do...in between my own workload. Cheers :)
