My Dad has recently shown interest in bonsai, since my parents have moved house close to me and he's seen mine!
So I'm looking to find him a good starter tree. Something that does already resemble bonsai as I don't think he's done a huge amount of reading up yet. Thought was to go for a cheapish Chinese elm since they're super easy and readily available.
I did however come across this nice siberian elm... I don't know a huge amount about them, but from what I've seen they're very similar to chinese elm, but need full sun? Are they as forgiving/tough as chinese elms?
If they're a bit more tricky I'll probably go for a Chinese elm. Just wanted to find him something a little nicer than the standard box store ones!
