Your x large bonsai comes in a 12 container. Place a fresh cutting in a glass of water. You can grow new chinese elm bonsai trees from 6 inch 15 cm cuttings taken from established trees in the summer. Bonsai which translates to tree in a pot is also known as pun sai and penjing the word pen means container or pot and the word jing means scenery.
I shortened long runners down to five or six inches and leaf pruned to four to six leaflets see cutback on chinese wisteria for details. Chinese bonsai inspired by nature originated in china around 1300 years ago. The bonsai trees seem to be old and to get a shape that appears to be a actual tree except much smaller. The chinese elm has beautiful distinctive dark gray to reddish brown bark that turns fissure and corky when mature.
