Description
Chinese corkbark elm is a classic species for bonsai. With leaves that reduce from about 1" down to less than 1/2" and rugged bark, this tree is perfect for small bonsai, and can be grown out to larger size also. Fine twigging makes the win...

I ordered 5 cork bark elm starters. All arrived healthy. They are going into the ground for a few years to hopefully become beautiful bonsai in a decade or so lol

I received my corkbark Chinese elm promptly, and neatly packaged a little over 2 weeks ago. It arrived healthy, so I immediately repotted it into a pond basket. It's already pushing strong, new growth.
The base has enough movement in it so that I already have plans to put it in the ground to speed its trunk development, and propagate cuttings.
I've never worked with a corkbark variety before, and am looking forward to seeing how this variety responds to the year-round growing in my climate on Maui.
I'm so glad that you propagate your starters in a soil-less medium, and are able to ship to Hawaii.

A stunning specimen, with lots of potential! Looking forward to training into a mame.
