Zelkova nire - Elm - 55 cm

Bonsai are living beings and each one is different from the others, so the plant you receive will be similar but not the same as the one you see in the photograph. The height may vary with the vegetative growth of the plant.

Zelkova nire 24 years old in palisade style

Pot size: 32 x 21 x 8 cm

Of Chinese origin, this plant belonging to the ulmaceae family has a smooth trunk with greyish-brown or dark-brown bark and a generous foliage consisting of many small, dense leaves with a simple shape: oval, toothed, with a short, but very developed petiole. It is evergreen, hardy and easy to grow. In addition, it lends itself very well to the creation of characteristic cloud-shaped stakes that give it a particularly striking appearance. Very popular for their small leaves are the Zelkova nire from the island of Formosa. In the wild, it grows with rounded, broad and slightly lance-shaped fronds.
