Good Day to All,

Mike,

these elms are easily propagated by root cuttings.

I would suggest that you start off a few and see
if they can live through an English year.

My stock is from South China through Red Sun Bonsai and
have lived in the Tropics since 1992 or so.All are happy
and have multiplied.Full sun to light shade makes no
difference.

They do not however like strong dry winds.
Good luck with the "Ficus" of the Sub-Tropicals/Tender
Temperates.

Subject: [IBC] Chinese Elm...Indoor or outdoor?


Hi everyone. I have 2 or 3 bonsai but I have never had a Chinese elm before
and so decided to get one. The one I bought seems to be very healthy and
was
purchased from a reparable bonsai nursery. Anyway what I need to know is
this an indoor or outdoor bonsai. I live in England and at the store it was
labelled as an indoor bonsai and was kept indoors but I would like to hear
your experiences with these trees. Also as I understand it supposed indoor
trees are best left outdoors in the summer.

Thanks in advance.
