Zelkova nire – Elm – 52 cm

Bonsai are living organisms and each one is different from the others, so the plant you receive will be similar to, but not identical to, the one shown in the photograph. The height may vary as the plant grows.
The size, colour and shape of the pot may vary depending on availability.

Of Chinese origin, this plant, which belongs to the Ulmaceae family, has a smooth trunk with greyish-brown or dark brown bark and a lush crown, formed by numerous small, dense leaves of a simple shape: oval, serrated, with short but well-developed petioles. It is evergreen, hardy and easy to grow. It also lends itself very well to the creation of canopies with a characteristic cloud-like shape, which give it a particularly striking appearance. Zelkova nire trees, native to the island of Formosa, are highly prized for their small leaves. In the wild, they grow with a rounded, broad and slightly lanceolate crown.
