Aged, Textured & Characteristic Chinese Elm Bonsai | Amazing Beginners Bonsai

Chinese Elm Bonsai with Stunning Character & Texture | Perfect for Beginners – 15-years-old

A twisty and uniquely shaped 15-year-old Chinese Elm bonsai tree in a navy blue pot with matching ceramic drip tray. The aged textured trunk oozes character! Its trunk has a strong stature with interesting shaping, supporting well placed branches. Filled with dainty leaves and gnarly features, the canopy is fantastic.

As your eyes follow the trunk upward, you’ll notice a natural trunk feature—an intriguing feature called a shari that tells the story of the tree’s growth. This is where a branch once grew alongside the trunk, gradually merging into it and wrapping around. It’s a truly captivating detail, showcasing the bonsai’s unique character.

Symbolising intuition, inner strength, wisdom and love, the Chinese Elm is a thoughtful, eco-conscious gift. Its enduring beauty thrives with minimal care, a testament to nature’s grace.

This variety is perfect for beginners due to its easy care requirements and hardy nature. Ensure your bonsai’ soil is kept damp at all times, do not allow the soil to become wet or dry. Mist the leaves regularly and use a tested insecticide once a month to prevent pests. An evergreen variety which adapts well to most environments. Highly recommended bonsai species for anyone for home or office. We also recommend the use of Bonsai Direct fertiliser once a week to keep your bonsai healthy and thriving.

Fun Facts:

• The Chinese Elm is known for its adaptable, hardy nature and can thrive both indoors and outdoors in many climates. We recommend protecting it from severe frost and it will become deciduous outdoors.
• As it matures, the bark of the Chinese Elm may develop a unique, flaky texture with orange-brown patches, giving it a naturally aged look that bonsai enthusiasts admire.

With its evergreen (when kept indoor) foliage, this bonsai remains visually appealing all year round, making it a fantastic addition to any home or office space. And as the tree ages, it only becomes more impressive, making it a rewarding plant to nurture.
