Chinese Lacebark Elm (Pre-Order)

Chinese Lacebark Elm, also known as Ulmus parvifolia, is a deciduous species native to eastern Asia, including China, India, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. It is easy to grow and maintain, making it one of the best species of beginners. Hardy and easy to maintain. Grows in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerant of light shade. Prefers rich, moist loam. Adapts to a variety of different soils and tolerates both wet and dry sites. Generally tolerant of urban conditions. Resistant to the Dutch elm disease and therefore has become a substitution for the magnificent American Elm.  One of the most popular bonsai trees because its bark develops an aged look, leaves become tiny as the tree develops more branching, and the tree is easy to maintain to become stately overtime.  A standout feature of the Bonsai Heirloom cultivar is, unlike ordinary Chinese elm, most of our tree will have red fall foliage under the right weather conditions when grown in full sun.
