This dwarf specimen is the sweetheart of bonsai enthusiasts due to its small leaves, small branching, and intriguing bark, but it can certainly be used in "ordinary" container planters as well.
Product Description
Product Description
This 'Hokkaido' Chinese elm may be a good choice for beginning bonsai enthusiasts, as it is naturally small and for some, agonizingly slow growing, with very dense growth and exceptionally small green toothed leaves. It may reach a foot in size after five years, but can be pruned for the purpose of shaping. Please consult with your nearest bonsai club for expert advice! This variety has good resistance to Dutch Elm disease as well as certain beetles, though it may be a bit fragile in the presence of extreme ice, snow, or wind.
