Best Bonsai for Beginners
Chinese Corkbark Elm Bonsai Starter
Chinese corkbark elm is a classic species for bonsai. With leaves that reduce from about 1" down to less than 1/2" and rugged bark, this tree is perfect for small bonsai, and can be grown out to larger size also. Fine twigging makes the winter silhouette dreamy on mature specimens.
These starters are in 3.5" nursery containers, with trunks about 1/8", and from 5-8" of growth.
Photos are representative and are not the plant you will receive. But, your plants will be very similar to the starter shown. (Specimen and mame for example only.)
We recommend that you fertilize regularly, and place your elm in a sunny warm location outdoors during the growing season. All bonsai should be protected from temperatures below 28F.
This starter is doing very well! It has lots of new leaf growth and I was able to start some nice movement on it with wire. I'm exited to watch it grow!
great starter bonsai
Two trees arrived in excellent shape and look very healthy. These are the 3rd and 4th tree I've ordered from Bonsaify and have been happy with all four. Will not hesitate to order from here again
I was nervous to order at first but I’m glad I did! The tree looks healthy and amazing. Exceeded my expectations. Very happy with purchase!
Very nice and healthy can’t wait for them to continue their growth.
