In Part 2 of this Bonsai Collaboration I root prune and pot my four collected field-grown trees.

Watch to see just how much root growth you can remove safely.  I ended up with two Smooth Leaf Elms and two European Hornbeams.

Jelle @GrowingBonsai  also pops in for a few more words of wisdom…

Jelle has the last word.

God Bless & Happy Bonsaiing Xavier
