I got this 4 year old Elm (or Zelkova?) for free when I bought another bonsai from a fellow bonsai enthusiast. It may not look like much now, but I thought it was a really nice gesture!
He grew it from seed, then chopped the trunk in order to create a broom-style tree. I can't remember which (sub)species it was... Either Ulmus Procera/minor or Zelkova serrata. Frustrating! I should post some close ups of the leaves later on. It was pruned a couple of days ago.
Anyway, I'm posting this for personal future reference. If you have any tips on growing broom style trees, I'd be happy to hear them!
