Japanese Zelkova, Small

Product Details

  • BEGINNER FRIENDLY: Zelkovas are extremely hardy and resilient. Since they grow rapidly, they are generally more forgiving of neglect or accidental "mistakes" made when pruning.
  • EASY TO STYLE: They naturally form a "vase" or "broom" shape.
  • FALL FOLIAGE: Roughly 10% of our Zelkovas will have beautiful, red leaves in the fall.
  • COLLECTOR-GRADE: With roughly 1" wide trunks and ample ramification, our Zelkovas are well-implemented bonsai, rarely available to the public.
  • THOUGHTFUL GIFT: A unique, heirloom-grade bonsai that would make a wonderful gift for a colleague, loved one, or even yourself!
  • In comparison to our larger Japanese Zelkovas, these will look a little younger, come in smaller 10" wide pots, have slightly thinner trunks, and a little less ramification (branches/leaves).
  • Comes in a traditional clay pot from YiXing, featuring a patent-pending water-retaining design for easy care.

What Makes BH Bonsai Different

Our bonsai are properly implemented and destined to grow into show bonsai trees in due time, simply by clipping periodically to increase ramification.

Our Philosophy

The "Lifestyle" Bonsai Method

We believe that caring for bonsai should accommodate your lifestyle, not the other way around — all you need is 5-10 minutes a week.
