Bonsai Variety

The Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) makes a truly beautiful bonsai with small bright green leaves. The tree has excellent twig structure and has great character throughout, making it the perfect representation of a woodland tree. In our opinion the Chinese Elm is the most perfectly proportioned, easy to care for and adaptable tree and makes a superb bonsai; which can be grown either indoors or outdoors. This variety of bonsai is superb for a beginners starter bonsai, it is fun to grow, style, prune and repot and grows relatively fast and is easy to care for. A fabulous bonsai which is perfect for beginners!
