This is our second year offering this great variety of elm. These are used widely as bonsai across much of the bonsai world. They grow extremely fast and start showing great bark characteristics quickly. The foliage stays small and ramification seems to come naturally. A wonderful elm cultivar for bonsai creating. Grown from cutting at Kaede Bonsai-en, these trees are well established in 2 1/4" containers.

Native to: Standard Chinese Elm is native to China, while this cultivar is native to the US. This likely happened by someone growing Chinese Elm from seed here in America and establishing the cultivar which is now found widely across America.
