About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Chinese elm is valued for details that become more evident with age: small leaves, fine branching and bark that can reveal a mottled surface. Ulmus parvifolia is native to East Asia and has found a place both in landscape planting and in the art of training miniature trees. Those two uses share an interest in strong, readable structure.

Growing from seed lets the grower influence that structure early, while recognizing that a bonsai is created by sustained training rather than by a special miniature seed. A plant intended for the landscape needs room to develop a full crown. Watch how branches and bark change through the years; they provide interest long after the novelty of germination has passed.
