Chinese Elm (Ulmus Parvifolia) Bonsai Tree | Broom | In 16cm Pot | Great Gift
Chinese Elm Bonsai in Ocean-Glazed Oval Pot
Graceful Structure. Enduring Beauty. A Thoughtful Gift or Collector’s Choice.
This expertly shaped Ulmus parvifolia, or Chinese Elm, embodies the quiet strength and intricate detail that define fine bonsai artistry. Known for its graceful taper, fine branching, and naturally textured bark that matures with age, the Chinese Elm offers year-round interest and enduring visual appeal.
Housed in a deep ocean-glazed ceramic pot, the tree is thoughtfully balanced in both form and setting. The pot’s lustrous blue tones shift gently in the light, offering a rich contrast to the elm’s delicate, serrated leaves and emerging ramification. Its oval shape, flared rim, and footed base lend stability while enhancing presentation — making it suitable for prominent display in any refined space.
A natural upright stone sits at the base of the trunk, evoking the feeling of a miniature landscape — a subtle homage to traditional penjing. The surface soil remains unadorned, revealing its organic texture and structure. This deliberate simplicity keeps focus on the tree’s lines and silhouette while supporting optimal drainage and root development.
Highly adaptable and forgiving, the Chinese Elm is a favorite among seasoned practitioners — and a meaningful gift for those ready to cultivate a deeper connection to bonsai practice.

Please note:
Trees
- Image shown is of the actual tree you will receive unless stated otherwise in the actual product's description
- The height given is from the base of the pot to the top of the tree.
- The tree received may be slightly different from the picture. Whilst we try to keep the photos of our trees as up to date as possible, these are live plants and, as such, will continue to grow and change slightly in between the times we take the photos.
Pots
- Some of our Bonsai pots are bought in bulk and unfortunately it's impossible to photograph each single item so the photograph used is taken from one random item of each collection we sell. In 99% of cases this means that any differences won't even be noticeable, however, if you have seen a particular image of a pot that has a certain streak of paint in a certain place, bear in mind that the pot you receive may not be 100% identical to this.
