Hello everyone. First post for me here I only found this site today and finding it tricky to find the basic info on bonsai. I have ordered a 7 year old Chinese elm tree from online seller . The reviews of the trees are promising and I am looking forward to getting started with a new hobby. I have included pictures for a reference of what I expect to receive. I will update post when tree arrives .
The tree should arrive between 27-32cm , I live in north east England (Sunderland) , I plan to put my tree on a south facing window sill and keep it there . The room is used as an office and no radiator will be switched on . Right now I just want to learn to keep the tree alive so I would like someone experienced to advise me on my first steps and what to expect from the tree , as in leaf drop because of transport , should I repot , is it feasible to keep on the windowsill and so on and so on . then maybe I can move on to shaping and pruning one day. Many thanks for any replies
