This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it.
I’m Mizu, the Hokkaido Elm or an Ulmus parvifolia 'Hokkaido.' I'm a Dwarf variation of the elm tree and am known for my dense arrangement of tiny leaves and branches which create a full size plant of tiny dimensions.
I'm native to Japan, Korea and China. I grow very slowly (about 1" per year), and show age through my stocky trunk. As I grow older, my bark begins to peel, revealing a corky, underlying tan-and-brown bark. Keep in mind, I'm a deciduous tree and can lose my leaves in winter. But I'm a prolific grower in spring and summer when my cute baby leaves bud.
I do best in full to partial sun conditions. You can water me once every 7-10 days, or more if it’s really hot. Don't over water in winter, and don't let me dry out in the summer sun. To water, submerge my pot in water up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Although I am an indoor tree, keep me away from heaters in the winter. I prefer to stay cool and benefit from good air circulation.
Symbolism: As a Wood element tree in Feng Shui, the Elm conveys balance and stability. Its 'Zhen' Chi makes it an auspicious choice for the ability to attract positive energy, promoting success and good fortune in various parts of life.
