Richard,
The leaves certainly look right. The only Zelkova I know is Serrata, and my book shows two cultivars, Village Green, and Green Vase, suitable for zones 3 to 10 (right up your alley). Occasionally we see elms marked as Zelkova, but again, from what I can
see in the pictures, the leaves look correct. Iris may know otherwise.

Subject: [IBC] ID Bonsai - Zelkova?


I saw this bonsai at the Sacramento Bonsai show April 4, 2004 in
Sacramento, California, USA.

It was labeled Zelkova. Can someone tell me if it is a Zelkova
serrata?
Also, are there any named varieties of this tree that would be more
suited for bonsai?
Thanks in advance.
