This elm was collected from a local car park where it
languished amongst heaps of rubbish and old tyres in 1994. I had read that
deadwood has no place in deciduous bonsai but just had to give this stump a
chance.

(Green leaves) By 2000 the branches were forming up very
well. The deadwood areas are all natural. Work consisted of using a wire brush
on a flex shaft to remove all of the rotten areas before preserving with teak
oil. The trunk is a maze of passageways all interconnecting.
