Japanese Elm Bonsai 日本榉树

This is Zelkova serrata, also known commonly as the Japanese Elm. It is a beautiful bonsai species that appears very much like a tree. Leaves are thin and serrated, and this species is known to have higher resistance against certain elm-related diseases, which makes it very desirable in the bonsai scene.

This striking Japanese Elm bonsai features a dramatic root-over-rock style, showcasing powerful surface roots that embrace a rugged stone base. Its upright trunk rises with natural taper, supporting a compact, well-structured canopy of finely serrated, glossy green leaves. Planted in a vibrant turquoise ceramic pot, this bonsai blends strength and refinement—perfect for enthusiasts who appreciate bold character and classical design.
