The Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) is a semi-evergreen/deciduous tree that is cold hardy, meaning it may lose leaves in colder climates in the fall but often keeps them indoors. Nice fall color changes in colder climate and lovely serrated foliage.
One-of-a-kind tree: the bonsai pictured is the exact tree you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team and planted in a 6" unglazed training pot by Willow Bonsai.

Shipping & Arrival
To ensure safe delivery, we prefer to ship trees between Monday and Wednesday at the latest, so your bonsai is never caught in an accidental weekend delay. Some leaf drop during shipment is completely normal. If leaves drop in transit, place your tree in a very sunny spot and water only once the topsoil has dried out — take care not to overwater while the tree has few or no leaves.
