Growing on You - Zen Garden Bonsai Blog — chinese elm RSS

I realize that most people have bonsai trees because they actually want to see them and that's terrific, but if you are planning a long winter trip- dormancy is an option for some of your trees.

Whenever I want to introduce someone to what I love about bonsai, I show them my favorite Chinese Elm.  If they didn't understand the attraction of bonsai already, this little beauty sells them on it every time! Ulmus parvifolia is an outstanding bonsai choice and one that belongs in every collection.
