Dippytree,
The one in the attached is also a chinese elm. It died this summer because the roots boiled on the sun. I was working on it for 5 years.
Same species, but look at the difference comparing to yours. There is a trunk and branches distributed on heights where it is possible to style them. The trunk is larger at the base and getting thinner toward the top. The tree in the attached is basic level and you will be able to do the same, but first you need to train your eye to recognise material that you can work on - the new one you have is impossible to work on. So I also strongly suggest you save your money and don't buy any "bonsai" for one more year. Just have a little patience and follow the forum.
Hope this helps you a little.

Thanks for getting back I really want to have a real bonsai tree and be able to nurture it and make it blossom into an amazing piece of art so sad to hear this is not a true bonsai could you please give me some links or places I can buy a true bonsai or tell me which bonsai I should go for as a beginner cheers

Thank-you winter I think I may just leave it a little time learn abit more and read up on the art of bonsai before buying again thank-you again

I suggest you do not look for a bonsai now. We consider as bonsai a "finished" tree thats is finally placed in a bonsai pot. A god one will not be cheap. But the pleasure is in creating a bonsai and this might take you 10-15 years at least. Look at the attached tree (a king of juniper). To you it does not look like a bonsai and it is not, but it will be in 10-15 years. I bought it in the nursery as a garden tree - not as a bonsai. Don't buy anything in a bonsai pot - as you can see the tree in the attached is in a plastic canister and will stay there for a long time.
You could do the same if you want and work on in for 10-15 years - only then it will be a bonsai.
You need not to rush.

got an idea - learn how to do the air layering and airlayer it just where the branches are growing from the top of the trunk - you?ll get a start for a raft style which could be made into something interesting in few years - elms grow like mad if you know how to take care of them
Good luck.

Well... I may be blunt but some of the reactions I get are far, far worse, including people wishing me to die from a wellknown disease that I don't even want to repeat here. I've been wondering where that agression comes from, but I think I finally got it. it's like Idols. It happens there too. People that have been singing for many years, have been praised by friends and family and are convinced they will be discovered as the biggest singer ever. Until they open their mouth and sing their first notes, which makes the walls crack, glass break, animals in a radios of a mile run for cover and the judges cringe. Their reaction, when they get a painful, but honest, review, is not much different.

hard criticism isn't an easy pill to swallow. But taking it and learning from it so to better yourself is something that should help most people. Some can't take it and the result is funny video's on youtube!
I'm sure the judges were thinking that there is no way this person is serious about singing when she is that bad. But like AUK said, "People that have been singing for many years, have been praised by friends and family and are convinced they will be discovered as the biggest singer ever."

I'm new here. I see that this is just like every other forum. Gets off on others pain. Just so I feel at home here I too am dyslexic, have no use of my thumbs and I'm on disability.
There , now that all that is out in the public, I'd like to know what happened to this tree. It was soft, lush and oh so green until I returned back from Berkely after a family member passed. I was gone two weeks, so my little Sage, that was her name , went bonkers on me. I watered when soil was dry to touch, by immersing her under water for a few minutes or until bubbles stopped. Then kept her in warm sunlight. Or a grow light when it was raining. The two weeks I was gone my house keeper had her outside in 100+ temps, and I believe that shocked her. She's been getting more and more brittle every few days, despite best efforts. Any suggestions? Or is this $80.00 investment gone with the wind?
I was wondering if she was cut all the way back would she come back in the next growing season?
Sincerely greatful for the help, Broken Hearted in Texas.
