Chinese Elm Bonsai Tree
The Chinese Elm Bonsai features a sturdy and naturally winding trunk with contrasting delicate branches, displaying delightfully elegant oval-shaped leaves.
Before reaching the Brussel's Bonsai Nursery, these Chinese Elm bonsai trees were painstakingly trained by a partner nursery in China.
The Chinese Elm is a deciduous tree and thrives outdoors in temperatures above 20 degrees F. A very durable and adaptive tree, this bonsai can be displayed indoors for weeks at a time.
What is Bonsai?
Literally, the Japanese word 'bonsai' means 'tray tree' or 'plant grown in a pot.' The term refers to the artistic techniques used to capture the natural beauty of trees, rather than a specific variety of tree. A full-grown tree and a bonsai can be grown from the same seed - the bonsai has simply been dwarfed and shaped through years of training. The value of a particular bonsai typically depends on size, age, and training. Generally, more expensive trees are larger, older, and have had more detailed, elaborate training. These qualities combined create the illusion of a large tree in a natural setting.
Outdoor Bonsai Care Guide
Each bonsai is shipped with a care guide, ensuring you are equipped with the knowledge to care for your bonsai as it flourishes.
Bonsai Your Way
With an array of tree sizes/ages, bonsai species, and bonsai pot offerings, our bonsai can fit any home space or gifting occasion. Our ceramic bonsai pots are designed to compliment the natural beauty of the bonsai tree. Or, add your own style, and select the grower bonsai pot to repot in a setting of your choice.
We recommend pairing your bonsai with a bonsai humidity tray, which increases the humidity around the tree and elevates the soil to help prevent root-rot.
A Gift to Last a Lifetime
The gift of a bonsai tree is a gift that will continue to grow in significance as time passes. Bonsai trees can bring a sense of calm, balance, and a deep connection to nature.
The Chinese Elm Bonsai symbolizes wisdom and serenity, with evenly spaced branches representing the balance of nature.
Over years, with regular care and maintenance, and an understanding of bonsai training, your tree can look like this specimen Chinese Elm bonsai.
The Chinese Elm is a durable tree and adapts well to training, but must be regularly pruned and maintained.

Brussel's Bonsai - The Largest Bonsai Nursery in the USA
When Brussel Martin was five years old, he was instantly captivated by several bonsai his father brought back from a California business trip. As a teenager, he began to seriously study the art of bonsai. What started as an artistic endeavor in his parents' backyard quickly grew into a business. In the 1970's, he began selling bonsai through the mail and travelling to shows across the country. By the early '80's, he was making annual buying trips to Asia.
As the business has grown, so has his desire to introduce bonsai to more and more Americans. Brussels now offers a full range of bonsai trees, from modestly priced bonsai for the beginner to unique specimens styled by bonsai experts.

Pros- My Elm came very quickly after the order (2 days). All of my orders from Brussel/Amazon have come quickly and each tree was well packed to prevent damage. With the exception of the Elm, all of the prior trees were exactly what I expected to receive. Also, all of the trees have been healthy and free of pests. Generally speaking the prices are good.
Cons- This has to do with the Chinese Elm only. The Amazon ad states the tree is 20 inches tall, mine is 17 inches before I pruned the tree...it's now about 16 inches tall. The Chinese Elm I received will require extensive pruning and wiring to achieve an "Average" bonsai. Whoever pre-trained this tree kept the lowest branches which form a "Y" from the trunk with one branch extending straight forward and the other straight back. Unfortunately both of these branches hide the tree trunk and I haven't decided which should be removed as the both have significant branch tip pruning scars. Also these trees are topped approximately two-thirds from the base of the original tree to create the approximate height of the "finished" bonsai. In the case of my Elm, this cut appears to have been achieved by cutting the trunk 2 or 3 times which left an uneven cut scar-not what I expected from Brussel and certainly very poor treatment of this tree.
Biggest issue- When I received this Elm, I noticed it was very well packed in an oversize box which prevented damage to the tips of the limbs, however, when I carefully removed the packing peanuts I noticed most branch/leaf tips were brown. Also, the tree had not been trimmed in some time as it had branches extending 3 to 5 inches beyond the compact branch growth. When I brought the tree into better lighting and wore my glasses, I observed the brown ends on the branches were actually torn or ripped off branches/leaves. The damage gave me the impression an electric shear with dull blades had been used to shape the tree at some point. After 2+ hours of very careful pruning, I was able to remove most of this damage from the tree.
Finally, as many would point out, if you're ordering trees online you can always return them. I did give this option consideration, but I'd never be able to protect this tree enough to ensure it didn't die during the return. So I've elected to keep this tree as a reminder why one doesn't buy bonsai, at least online. I had hoped to have the same luck I'd had in the past with Brussel since it is difficult in my area to obtain a variety of plants suitable for bonsai and this tree been in better shape, I probably would have purchased most of Brussel's bonsai over time.
Received plant only . Pot wasn’t included.
Terrific company to buy from !!!
