Chinese Elm Bonsai Starter Pack – 12 Years

If I Had My Life to Live Again, I Would Find You Sooner So I Could Love You Longer

A Living Gift That Speaks from the Heart

If you want a gift that goes beyond the ordinary, this 12-year-old Chinese Elm bonsai offers a powerful way to express enduring love. Rather than something fleeting, this living tree grows stronger with time. As a result, it becomes a lasting symbol of commitment, shared history, and deep connection.

A Mature, Twisty Chinese Elm with Natural Character

Carefully nurtured for over twelve years, this Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) displays a beautifully twisty, S-shaped trunk with fine twiggy branches and naturally small green leaves. Consequently, it looks remarkably tree-like while remaining compact enough for indoor living. The mature structure gives immediate impact and makes this bonsai especially rewarding from day one.

Designed for Beginners but Loved by All

Because this bonsai is larger than standard starter trees, it is easier to care for and more forgiving. The larger ceramic pot holds moisture longer, therefore reducing how often watering is needed. In addition, the Chinese Elm grows enthusiastically, which makes pruning and shaping both enjoyable and confidence-building for beginners.

What’s Included in the “If I Had My Life Again” Gift Set

This bonsai arrives planted in a deep blue ceramic pot and paired with a dark coloured drip tray. Alongside the tree, you will receive bonsai pruning scissors, a bottle of bonsai fertiliser, the Bonsai Direct care handbook, and a free care leaflet. Most importantly, the wooden hanging tag reads:
“If I had my life to live again, I would find you sooner so I could love you longer.”
Together, these elements create a complete, meaningful gift.

Symbolism Behind the Chinese Elm

The Chinese Elm is often known as the “tree of harmony.” It symbolises inner strength, intuition, wisdom, and love. Over time, caring for this bonsai reflects patience, resilience, and growth—making it especially fitting for anniversaries, lifelong partnerships, and heartfelt declarations of love.

We offer free next working day delivery to most UK addresses. Alternatively, you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout.
