The Hokkaido Dwarf Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) is a fascinating miniature tree known for its distinct knobby bark and natural compact growth. It’s a popular addition to bonsai collections, fairy gardens, and miniature landscapes. With a mature size of just 6 inches in height and 5 inches in width, this dwarf Chinese elm tree grows only an inch or two annually, giving it the appearance of age and maturity that enthusiasts highly value.

This hardy plant, suitable for USDA Zones 6-10, thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full to partial sunlight. During winter dormancy, it’s best to keep the plant in cool conditions below 40°F but above freezing. Proper pruning promotes denser foliage, enhancing its charm as a bonsai or indoor plant.

Because of its corky bark and compact trunk, the Hokkaido Dwarf Chinese Elm fits seamlessly into small gardens, railroad landscapes, and as a decorative houseplant. Its resilience makes it a delightful choice for anyone looking to start a bonsai project or add greenery to small spaces. This starter plant comes in a 2.5″ pot and will enter dormancy during winter.
