Hello everyone today we are looking at
my English Elm Bonsai tree and the update
is on the upper part and the lower part
which were air layered and separated.
The upper part is being grown as a tree on
its own and the lower parts are being
grown as a raft style. I last worked
on it this time three years ago. So three
years on the tree and the raft style
are coming along quite nicely and we'll
take a look at both of them shortly.
So be sure to watch the whole video.
So stay tuned.

This is the front and the upper part of
the air layered tree and three years ago
that's when it was done and this is
where I carved it exactly three years
ago and as you can see it's starting to
callus over, be interesting to see what
happens when it gets to the to the end I
suppose it will probably go inwards
and turning the tree also some
carving work was done at the top and all
the way down to the side and along here
and all this V was created and then this
bark was removed and as you can see it's
healing over quite nicely starting to callus and it
won't be too long before it's, the callousing
comes to the end of the V.
That is the top of the pot and it's full
of debris and weeds so I'm going to
start tidying it up and remove all these
weeds and debris these are all weeds so
I'll remove these and also the debris
this that leaves not from this tree but
from neighboring trees
and other few bits and pieces which
trees drop and I'll be removing all
these and tidy up the pot take another
look at the tree and then I'll be doing
some work with the top and I'll carry on
with this and we'll catch up shortly.
I have cleaned the soil and freed it of
debris and weeds so the green that you
see is a bit of moss and I'll give it a
quick turn so you can see that the pot
has been thoroughly tidied up and also
the actual pot has been cleaned
and I've always maintained that the job
is not done if the pot has been cleaned
so that's turning the other way and
that's the front of the tree.
We are now looking into the canopy of the tree and
branches which are crossing or fighting
with each other I'm going to remove and
in this instance it is this branch here
that I'm going to remove as I want this
to develop a little bit more up here so
this will be removed to make room for
the other one and here we go
that's it that's out I'll go back in and
clean it up a bit more make it flush cut
looks a bit better here, where as before
they were too close and just too much
going on and it's also not good for the
branches lower down, as the Sun doesn't
get through.
`I have made a start working on the tree at the top
the canopy, reducing, removing the dead
branches and then also reducing the
branches to create a much better canopy
so we are basically reducing that and
I'll just go round the tree and see what
else needs to be done firstly removing
the dead branches.
I'm going to start thinning out the foliage by pruning the
leaves and again using the directional
pruning method so as not to do too much
wiring etc to shape it.
I'm continuing with the removal of the
dead stumps and
dead branches and also shorting the
branches, I am now going to remove this
part of the branch up to about here
that's that one and this lower one
will go back to about there
that's off and basically to bring the
tree in, tighten it up a bit more the
branches are a bit too long and I like
to do the work slowly take it easy and
that way gives me a chance to revisit
the tree from time to time and do
additional work that is necessary.
I am working to create a look where the lower
branches such as this one here are
longer than the upper branches and
gradually work my way up that's the
strategy so I'm going to reduce this
first to here, then take a look, no this
is virtually same sort of length so I'll reduce
it back a bit more, to about there and
now this this one will be reduced as its
higher than that one and we'll do it in two
phases to start with and we'll see how
that looks and this branch here we'll
reduce it to about there and it makes a
very big difference although its a few
inches long but as we work towards the
apex the tree is being gradually pulled
in and it'll make a denser canopy and I
can see it it's already coming along
quite nicely this branch here where my
hand is, just above this branch
here I'm going to shorten the top one
again to create that layered effect so
we will take this back to where there is a few
leaves coming off of it so I'll get back to about there
and now that really opens up the lower
branch and again the one which is
doubling back, we'll remove that part
there and also leaf prune it so that
give it a little bit more of a
directional prune.
Stand back and take a
look, little bit better, now there are other bits
which are sticking out so that's the only way to
stand back have a look, this bit is
sticking out so I'm gonna reduce that
to about there and have another look and
also prune some of this thick foliage
Dead branches come off and continue with
clipping and directional pruning
so it grows in a certain direction
continue to move up wards, now I'm
going to reduce this branch to there
then we have again differential in height
and this one I'm going to bring
down to there so the difference between that that and
then that one, that will leave it
at that level but the one next to it this one
here I will reduce that shortly.
So it's just like a haircut these bits are sticking
out so I will shorten these then take
another look and see if more shortening
is necessary. It's the old carpenters rule
measure twice cut once and the same
principle applies here .Now looking from
that angle this branch is sticking out so
I'm going to take it right back to about
there and then these smaller branches
will take over. I have worked my way to
the apex and now it's time to thin this
part here I'm going to remove this side
branch so reduce it down to where the
dead branch was and then take a look
Right and now reduce this one, there is a dead
stub here.,
and remove that and then reduce this, let's
see if we reduce it in stages to there
So I'm going to have a little look, stand back
and see, yes that now fits in a little
bit better.
Right folks there we are it's all pruned
the canopy is nice and tight
and I'll give it a quick turn so you can
see it from all sides and that was a
front where we started side one that's
the back, side two and that's where we
started, and the last thing that I'm going to
do with this is, it's time to feed it so I
haven't put the chicken pellets yet so
these are the chicken pellets being scattered
around the pot and they should keep it
fed to the end of the season.
if you haven't seen the first video then there
is a link in the info card at the top
right-hand corner of the screen click on
that and it will take you to the first
video when this tree was air layered and the
air layer was separated, the roots on it are
just amazing.
Right folks that was the English Elm
the upper part, it's a tale
of two halves and the lower part which
is being grown in the raft style follows
in part two so be sure to watch that.
That's all for now this is Iqbal Khan
for mikbonsai in West London,
until the next time.
And now for the afterthought
You love this .
Bonsai lovers are very tolerant people
they just hate bigotry,
