• A deciduous species native to eastern Asia, including China, India, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Resistant to the Dutch elm disease and has become a substitution for the magnificent American elm. 
• Known for its small, notched leaves and the mottled, aged look that its bark is able to develop over time.
• Adapts to a variety of different soils and tolerates both wet and dry sites. Generally tolerant of urban conditions. Thrives in various climates, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists.
• Unlike ordinary Chinese elms, which turn yellow in the fall, most of our trees will have red fall foliage under the right growing conditions. 

What "Pre-Bonsai" Means:

• Trees that can be easily made into a nice bonsai by anyone.
• Well-developed trees, trained from the start to become a specimen bonsai without tangled roots.
• A more affordable entry point for beginners or a rewarding project for seasoned hobbyists.
• Excellent for training, experimentation, and long-term development.

What To Expect:

• Our Pre-Bonsai come in one-gallon nursery pots filled with our proprietary soil mix blended specifically for bonsai potting.

What to Do:

• Use the soil that comes with the tree to plant it in your own bonsai pot (or a BH bonsai pot which comes with a root pruning mesh) to have a decent starter bonsai. 
• Alternatively, you might choose to keep it in the nursery pot for at least a few months to speed up its growth before eventually planting it into a bonsai pot. If you choose that route, it will give you the opportunity to have a more mature-looking tree sooner
