Zelkova Copse #2

This Zelkova forest bonsai presents a graceful, upright woodland of finely developed deciduous elm trees rising from a soft, moss-covered forest floor. Zelkova, a prized member of the Elm family (Ulmaceae), is beloved for its delicate branching, fast recovery, and exceptional response to pruning and root work. In spring and summer, this forest fills with fresh green foliage, creating the feeling of a living grove. In autumn, the leaves shift into warm yellow and amber tones. In winter, the leaves fall away to reveal the fine branching and natural taper of each trunk, turning the composition into an elegant sculptural display.
