Jim&rsquo;s Hokkaido elms both came from Ray Nesci&rsquo;s Bonsai Nursery. The larger tree was&nbsp;bought in 1997&nbsp;and has only been in a bonsai pot since 2000, while the mini was bought in 1988, and has been a bonsai since 1989. They were probably about the same age when purchased, and&nbsp;possibly even grown from the same stock material.<br /> As Jim says, in bonsai, the size of the tree doesn't necessarily indicate age, or for that matter, even quality.<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial"></span><!--EndFragment--> <meta name="Title" /> <meta name="Keywords" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /> <link href="file://localhost/Users/Neville/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" /> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Template>Normal</o:Template> <o:Revision>0</o:Revision> <o:TotalTime>0</o:TotalTime> <o:Pages>1</o:Pages> <o:Words>62</o:Words> <o:Characters>357</o:Characters> <o:Company>Higgins Psychological Services</o:Company> <o:Lines>2</o:Lines> <o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs> <o:CharactersWithSpaces>438</o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:Version>11.1282</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:DoNotShowRevisions/> <w:DoNotPrintRevisions/> <w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:UseMarginsForDrawingGridOrigin/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Times New Roman"; panose-1:0 2 2 6 3 5 4 5 2 3; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:Arial; panose-1:0 2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:6.0pt; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:0cm; margin-left:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Helvetica; mso-ansi-language:EN-AU;} table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-parent:""; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> <!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment-->


<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica">The beautiful flowers on Michael&rsquo;s Chaenomeles provide an interesting contrast to the bare branches. Chaenomeles are very hardy and provide welcome colour over winter</span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica">The fine branching of Pomegranates provides a delicate winter skeleton after the colourful flowers and fruit during spring to autumn. Ruth&rsquo;s Chaenomeles has been developed by clip and grow, a technique to which it responds well.</span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica">Roger&rsquo;s <i>Nothofagus antarcticus</i></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica"> is a native of southern South America (S Argentina and Chile).&nbsp; The genus is especially interesting because it is one of the major ones that helped underpin the concept of Gondwana and continental drift.&nbsp; There are <i>Nothofagus</i></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica"> species in S. America, New Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia and New Guinea.&nbsp; This species is relatively uncommon in its native habitat.&nbsp; It is deciduous, producing bright green new leaves in spring, which by autumn turn yellows, reds and oranges.&nbsp; It grows well with bonsai treatment</span><!--EndFragment-->


Steve's deciduous tree
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Helvetica">A close up showing the balanced branch development. Reticulation is a bit rudimentary at this stage and styling is pretty conventional, but I am looking forward to seeing it after another year&rsquo;s design and development work in the fertile surroundings of the central coast.</span><!--EndFragment-->

The original upright trunk was removed about five years ago and major branches cut off or shortened to give a stump. New branches were then trained in clip and grow until one year ago when it was intensively wired and &ldquo;wiggle wired&rdquo; or compressed. It will be a chunky medium size bonsai with a sort of semi cascade strong lower branch.<o:p></o:p></span> </p> <!--EndFragment-->
