WOW Twisty Chinese Elm Bonsai — Ulmus parvifolia with Fresh Green Foliage
This twisty bonsai tree is a striking example of what makes the Chinese Elm such a beloved species. Its trunk moves with natural rhythm, twisting and turning in a way that feels expressive, mature, and full of quiet character. Each curve tells a small story of its growth, creating a miniature landscape that draws the eye instantly. The canopy is lush and fresh, filled with healthy green leaves that give the tree a vibrant, alive presence throughout the growing season.
As part of our Premium Range, this is the exact tree you will receive. It arrives potted in a sleek black ceramic pot with a matching ceramic drip tray — a modern and stylish pairing that highlights the rich tones of the bark and the brightness of the foliage. This elegant presentation makes it ideal for homes, offices, patios, and sheltered garden spots.
A Hardy and Adaptable Bonsai
Perfect for Beginners and Enthusiasts
The Chinese Elm, Ulmus parvifolia, is known for its resilience and easy-going nature. It adapts beautifully to life indoors or outdoors, making it one of the most versatile bonsai species available. Whether you are new to bonsai or expanding an established collection, this tree offers reward, stability, and creative freedom.
Natural Charm in Every Season
When grown outdoors, the Chinese Elm becomes even tougher, enjoying fresh air and seasonal variation. Indoors, it remains green and tidy with the right light and watering. Its small serrated leaves form a compact, attractive canopy, and its twisty trunk adds artistic movement from every angle.
Beginners Care Guide
Positioning:
Keep in a bright spot indoors or outside in a sheltered garden position. Protect from frost during winter and avoid hot, dry air indoors.
Watering:
Water when the topsoil begins to dry. Keep the soil evenly moist and never let it fully dry out. Check daily in warm weather.
Feeding:
Use a balanced bonsai fertiliser weekly during the growing season.
Pruning:
Trim new shoots regularly to maintain shape and encourage ramification.
Repotting:
Repot every two years in early spring using free-draining bonsai soil.
