Large Bonsai question
I have seen and admired the larger Bonsai's for some time now
and would like to have at least one in my collection. Every year I go out to my Dad's ranch and get about 3 elms that the cattle beat up. I start looking now and remove them just before spring. The problem is, they are only around 1 inch in diameter at the base and I would like them to be much larger ( several inches at the base). There are bigger Yaupon's and Elm's, but their lowest branch is 1 ft or more from the ground. I don't know if I should air layer ( would be hard to keep watered) these big trees or start cutting them way back to encourage lower branches. Could I get some advise? Is there a good book on just this subject? BTW, I live in Texas and have not had any Bonsai's die on me for a few years now (collected included). Thanks Steve |
