Oriental Lacebark Elm Bonsai (Chinese Elm)

Ulmus parvifolia

The Oriental Lacebark Elm makes a truly beautiful bonsai. The leaves are small, bright to deep green and are slightly serrated. The tree has excellent twig structure and has great character throughout, making it the perfect representation of a woodland tree. After time the silvery bark gently peels and reveals shades of red and tan; giving rise to the name Lacebark Elm. In our opinion the Chinese Elm is the most perfectly proportioned, easy to care for and adaptable tree and makes a superb bonsai. The Lacebark Elm can be grown as an indoor or outdoor bonsai.



• Age: 5-6 years

• Height: ~ 25cm



Please note that all bonsai are unique and that some slight variation from the photograph shown should be expected.
