Outdoor Bonsai — Ulmus 'Jacqueline Hillier' — Dwarf Elm — Penjing Style — 5+ Years

A charming and characterful shohin bonsai — this Ulmus 'Jacqueline Hillier' (Dwarf Elm) has been growing for 5+ years from a cutting and has been in active bonsai training since 2025. At just 10 cm, it presents a beautifully aged, twisting trunk with refined fine branching and the classic small serrated leaves of this beloved dwarf elm cultivar. Every detail speaks of patience and skilled development.

Planted in a handmade NZ ceramic pot by Jan — a warm golden-olive ribbed oval form that perfectly complements the earthy character of this little elm. A rock accent nestled at the base of the trunk adds a natural finishing touch. A complete and considered composition.
