This is a nice smaller specimen we collected last summer. It just got an initial styling and potting this year. The trunk base is 1.25″ and the finished height should be about 14″. The pot is a nice Chuck Iker round.

We collected this natural raft-style specimen last summer. I haven’t done a lot of training on it yet, as it’s the sort of bonsai that will work out best if the grow-and-clip method is used. The recumbent base is 7″ in length and stretches most of the way across the pot. The finished height should be about 14″. The pot is an beautiful handmade Lary Howard piece that really complements the tree perfectly.

We collected this unusual triple-trunk specimen last summer. I love how the three trunks complement each other. This tree was a single-trunk specimen long ago, but something happened to it and it regrew with multiple trunks. The base is 2″ across, and it’s 16″ tall. The pot is an unglazed, handmade Lary Howard piece that suits the composition beautifully.

This Water-elm is just a lovely specimen, featuring one of the most attractive trunks for an upright specimen I’ve ever seen. The taper is wonderful, the subtle movement superb. I just trimmed it back, and in a couple of weeks it will push its final round of growth for 2019. The trunk base is 2″ across, and it’s 19″ tall. The pot is a beautiful Lary Howard handmade piece.

This is “Big Hoss,” a significant Water-elm specimen available semi-trained (initial styling 8/31/19). I collected the big guy in August of 2018. This is one of those trees that can make the centerpiece of a high-quality collection. Water-elms are fast to train, so you can do an initial styling later this year and expect fast development in 2020. The trunk base is 4.5″ across. I would expect the finished height to be about 36″, when all is said and done.

Estimated Age: 80-100years

An August 2018 collect, this is a nice masculine Water-elm with great trunk character. I started the design in April, and the branch structure is developing quickly. The trunk base is 2.5″ across, and it’s 18″ tall from the soil surface. The pot is a beautiful Lary Howard piece that really complements the bark and foliage color.
