Whether this is your first tree or a thoughtful gift, the Chinese Elm Starter Bundle makes it simple to bring the joy of bonsai into everyday life.
Please Note: The Chinese Elm is awesome and you're going to love it, BUT, it does go SEMI-DORMANT during the Winter, so just be prepared for 60-80% leaf loss. Don't worry, they'll come back. They always do.
