I have been using JH elms for bonsai for 10 years now, a great little tree.

A word of warning, they are brittle!! So beware when wiring ;-)

They are rapid growers but tend to slow down dramatically when pot bound.

I just acquired a 'Jacqueline Hillier' elm, which is being distributed by
Iseli
Nursery. The latest information I have on taxonomy is that the various
northwestern European elms, including this one, are all Ulmus minor. Is
this
correct?
Also, I would like some opinion on it in bonsai as compared to Chinese
elm,
such as 'Seiju.'
How hardy is it? The tag lists it for Zone 5, but I'm skeptical.
