Best Bonsai for Outdoors
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.
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.
When received, the starter cork bark elms already possessed interesting structures with ramifications, unexpected, but pleasant surprises. The elms were of a reasonable size, in excellent health, and growing vigorously even though it was only mid-March when received. The elms, obviously, received great care in the hands of Bonsaify. These starters are what starters should be -- no disappointments -- and, exactly as described. An easy and mutually satisfying transaction. I will buy from Bonsaify again. Thank you!
I received this tree well insulated and packed but pretty much falling out of its pot. It clearly endured the shipping process, so I stuck it back into the pot and hoped for the best. It's been a few weeks, and as it's not prepared to be outside yet, I left it on a chilly windowsill. Today there are 3 leaflets popping out! Totally shocked and thrilled. Can't wait to see how this little dynamo moves into spring! Thanks, Bonsaify!
