I've just received an Ulmus americana 'Princeton' in a five gallon pot
which is cutting grown and beginning its second season of growth. I
know that this is a very long term project (one of many that I have)
but I am curious if anyone has successfully cultivated this tree for
bonsai.

I have a small one (collected, not a cultivar) that I got at a club
auction in Maine three years ago. It has gained a great deal in
thickness during that time. It started out at about 3/8" and it has a
fat base (from being in a shallow pot) and the trunk just above the
base is about 3/4" now.

I don't know when it will be ready for styling, but it's fun to watch
it grow.
