Chinese Elm Ulmus Parvifolia The Chinese Elm is one of the most popular bonsai trees, especially among beginners. It is an ideal choice for those just starting out. This native of China, Japan, and Korea is a hardy tree that can be kept indoors or out, with minimal shelter. And because it is slow-growing and tolerant, the Chinese Elm allows beginners plenty of time and forgiveness to grow accustomed to bonsai care. This tree's trunk has a gorgeous swaying shape that supports a full, lush canopy of foliage. It looks like a Bonsai should: a miniature version of an age-old tree. The Chinese Elm has small, dark green leathery leaves with blunt teeth. It has a highly predictable growth pattern, which is again good news for beginners. You won't need to be an expert pruner to care for a Chinese Elm. A ceramic pot chosen to compliment the Chinese Elm Bonsai is included with your order, along with a bonsai care guide to help you maintain the health of your tree.
