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.
- Zelkova builds structure fast — trunks and branches thicken quickly, while its smooth gray bark slowly splits with age to reveal orange-brown inner bark, a transformation unique among common bonsai species.
- Easy to style — Naturally predisposed to the classic broom style, Zelkova's fine branching ramifies on its own into the dense, intricate canopies that other species require decades of coaxing to approximate.
- Genuinely rewarding in every season — fresh spring green, rich fall color in yellow or red, and a striking bare silhouette through winter.
- Heirloom-grade — With roughly 2" 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!ld make a wonderful gift for a colleague, loved one, or even yourself!
- The "Large" Zelkovas come in a 14" wide pot. They will also have thicker trunks and more ramification (branches/leaves) than the smaller sizes.
- Comes in a traditional clay pot from YiXing, featuring a patent-pending water-retaining design for easy care.
