Information about  Ulmus parvifolia from other sources

[Wikipedia] Bonsai: Owing to its versatility and ability to tolerate a wide range of temperatures, light, and humidity conditions, the Chinese elm is a popular choice as a bonsai species. It is perhaps the single most widely available. It is considered a good choice for beginners because of its high tolerance of pruning. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
