Backdrop

G,day folks I thought if I changed the backdrop I might get away with it.
This tree was purchased as nursery stock in 1998. From Ray Nesci in NSW by a friend who was traveling in a caravan. It had a few problems then and it still does. Which are being addressed. It is the mother plant of all of my miniature corky bark elms. This one is known as Ulmus parvifoliar x suberosa. Thank you for the votes. Pup

Congratulations, Pup.

Not only it has a very elegant movement, but I suspect that corky bark species are much more difficult to work with, which makes it even more valuable.

Congratulations Pup! Really Nice Tree! If it wasn't for the fact that you'd go to prison if you got caught, I'd ask if you could bring a cutting with you when you come over.

My apologies for being so late in getting this months Bonsai of the Month on the homepage. I was in the middle of receiving a new computer, setting it up and trying to retrieve and sort out some of the files from my old computer.

By the the way, congrats to Pup......again!
