Beautiful Structure and Foliage
The branch placement on this tree is superb. Each branch sits naturally, creating pads of vibrant green leaves in varying shades. This layered canopy gives depth, shape and a wonderfully three-dimensional feel. As a result, the bonsai looks both elegant and full of movement, with a silhouette that feels light yet expressive.
What Is a Shari?
A shari is an area of the trunk where bark has naturally fallen away and healed over time. This creates a unique exposed section that shows the living and non-living parts of the tree together. Shari adds incredible character, age and authenticity, making it one of the most admired bonsai features.
Artistic Charm in a Compact Size
Standing at just 27 cm, this bonsai delivers remarkable presence for its size. The hollowed trunk and flowing lines create an enchanting woodland feel. It is highly artistic and full of personality, making it perfect for someone who appreciates natural beauty, creative styling or the deeper story behind a tree.
Perfect for Beginners
Chinese Elms are known for their forgiving nature and perfectly proportioned leaves. Because of this, they make excellent beginners’ trees and are great fun to style. Their fresh, vibrant foliage and steady growth make them rewarding for both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts.
This is a truly outstanding bonsai with rare charm, superb structure and a one-of-a-kind shari feature — a beautiful example of natural artistry in miniature.
