Chinese Elm, Lacebark Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) Bonsai Tree Seeds - Exotic Frost

The Chinese elm has the most beautiful bark - green, gray, orange and brown mottled and flaking in small thin plates. This is a handsome tree, often with a trunk that forks and produces a vase shape similar to American elm. Chinese elm usually gets no more than 12.2-15.2 m tall. The leaves are typical elm leaves - about 5.1 cm long, elliptic, toothed, conspicuously veined and with unequal bases. Chinese elm is semi-deciduous, almost evergreen in mild climates.

Chinese elm is native to China, Korea and Japan.

Chinese elm is a fast growing tree that is adaptable to most soil types.
