Ulmus parvifolia. Bonsai 15 years. Chinese Elm.

Ulmus parvifolia. Bonsai 15 years. Chinese Elm. Outdoor bonsai with semi-deciduous leaves. Highly prized for the small size of its leaves and its peeling bark. It is a very popular species in the bonsai world due to its ability to form a branching structure easily. In addition, its dense and small foliage makes it an ideal species for cultivation in small pots.

Location: Elm wood is very reluctant to dry out. It is very resistant when permanently submerged, so it is used in the manufacture of boats, bridges, piles, dams, weatherboarding and carpentry in general.

Watering: Abundantly in summer and moderate in spring.

Curiosities: In areas with a Mediterranean climate, it should be placed outdoors, in full sun all year round. In colder areas it can lose its leaves during the winter, becoming a deciduous tree, sprouting again in spring.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 30 x 26 x 41

Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
