Siberian elm shohin
This small Ulmus pumila was displayed at this year’s Toronto Bonsai Society Fall Show and Sale.
The tree was developed from a naturally layered low branch from a much larger elm that was collected from a hedge, along with many others.
Rarely do we see the origin of a bonsai! A nice use of something many would prune off and throw away.

Good Morning:
I am very glad to have joined your blog. I have just recently returned to the bonsai hobby, and am interested in acquiring the Siberian elm bonsai. Can you please let me know what price you are asking?
If you maintain a list of those interested in acquiring your trees, please add my name to it.
Thank you.

I love this post and admire the “eye” and the skill that this took.

I find a lot of Ulmus pulmia in concrete cracks here in Winnipeg. Have been considering air layering at the base. Do you have any experience of this type ?

I’ve never intentionally air layered one, but they are such vigorous growers I would certainly bet that they will layer easily.
