Ask a question about this product

     There are several wonderful styles of the Zelkova that make great bonsai. For example, the Elm Zelkova (Zelkova carpinifolia) and Japanese Zelkova (Zelkova serrata) are two top choices. These plants originate from western Asia where they prefer cooler climates.

The leaves of the Zelkova look similar to the American or English Elm but much smaller. Although not everyone agrees, many bonsai enthusiasts believe the Zelkova is by far the best deciduous tree for bonsai. The Zelkova is related to the Elm but with a major advantage – they do not experience the same problem with disease.

During the colder winter months, you would notice the Zelkova has small, green leaves with a slight, sweet fragrance. However, in the fall, the leaves change color to a bronze or golden yellow color and the fragrance seems to disappear. The trunk of the Zelkova is straight with smooth bark. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Zelkova is the color of the trunk, which ranges from green to gray when at a mature age
