The Chinese elm is a very popular choice of bonsai recommended for beginners as it is a strong tree that reacts well to pruning. If you want to practice clip-and-grow pruning look no further. Elms grows fast making it easy to build up a dense foliage mass by pruning alone within a few years. New shoots on an Elm will extend in any direction with alternating leaves getting bigger as the shoot gets longer. With them being quite an adaptable species, they are more tolerant to imperfect growing conditions. Fortunately, due to their natural vigour they are very good at recovering from accidental neglect too. Probably one of the best reasons why it is recommenced to beginners. Chinese Elm is a deciduous - sometimes semi-deciduous tree depending on the location. The graceful branches have clusters of leaves that emerge as green in the Spring and change to shades of golden during Autumn. Sometimes their leaves turn shades of red and purple too!

Caring for your elm bonsai

Elms love water. Water until water comes out of the drainage holes in the bottom. During the growth season, Spring – Summer, a lot of the shaping can be done with trimming alone. General maintenance pruning is to probably trim back to 1-3 leaves on each new shoot. Woody branches and trunks are reasonable flexible and can be wired into position if necessary.

Good to know: If something upsets an Elm they can often drop their leaves in a short period of time. Although this may be alarming for the inexperienced, with correct care and attention elms will almost always leaf back within a few weeks.

Sun exposure

The Chinese elm thrives in either full sun and/or partial shade. It can be kept outdoors as well as indoors in a sunny location. They are very tolerant of a wide variety of temperatures and climates. They can be grown year-round in a light warm indoor location where they will stay in leaf and growing all year. Or they can also be grown outside where they will go dormant in Winter.


Fertilizing

Elm bonsai enjoy organic feed. Moderate application of once a month is all that's necessary to keep elm bonsai growing strong.

Dog loves it, but it comes apart pretty quick.
Size: One Size
The dog loved chasing it and playing tug-of-war, but it lasted less than 30 days. If the outer rubber portion of cover was thicker, or all canvas material, it would probably last for a few months of rough play. May buy again if I can't find something similar to try.

This is a big ball.
Larger than I thought but still a great toy for a heavy chew pup, easy to toss and won't go under funiture. She has the same ball in a 5 inch size so I know it's quality and will last. Can't wait for Summer, will make a great yard ball.

Second one, first one lasted a good while
We leave it outside in the weather with solid results for our backyard dog, and the dog loves this thing. It's our go to toy for her, ... perfect for kick to fetch, tug of war, hide in the shirt, bump the human leg when it is wet, etc. ;) The first one we used and used and finally it started to show too much weathering, mildew, and finally breaking after like 1.5 years... we have extremely hot and wet weather here. When new though, these balls take a pounding. Our 50 pound dog can play tug of war to the extent we can pick her up while she holds onto the ball with her teeth. The ball doesn't flinch and the dog loves it. Kicking it is fun because you can give it a wallop and it won't go over the fence since the design absorbs a fair bit of the kick energy, but it is still enough for an adult or teen to send it about 1/4 an acre away. What else... oh the dog has a funny habit of finding the one spot that isn't an empty pentagon... as in the plastic is filled in there... and she likes to bit on that part especially during tug of war. I should also mention our dog literally breaks apart and sometimes eats sticks and twigs in the yard, can't be healthy, so a nice diversion is this ball that she will chew on once in a while without destroying it.

Absolutely love this brand of ball for my dog
I end up replacing these every couple years, yep that's right, years. My border collie will grab this ball in his mouth and then kick another ball around. Don't know why he has to have something in his mouth to play soccer, but he is unique. He managed to tear one of these up when he was in his teething stage, but it took him months, and I took it away as soon as he managed to remove a piece of it. Otherwise, we usually lose these much more often than them getting destroyed through constant chewing, and I suspect heavy weathering outside for an extended period of time. Nowadays he doesn't chew on rubber nearly that often, he has developed his own picky preferences. This ball is his must have for playing around. He loves to drop it down the stairs and play fetch with himself. It's easy for him to grab, it isn't heavy so we don't worry about furnishing, walls, or family members when he is tossing it around. It is much more durable than most, with the exception of really heavy chewers/teething, even then it held up for a long time. As long as you are careful to remove it if they manage to chew through I would even try it out with teething puppies. The lawnmower is also this balls nemesis, it loses every time. If only I could convince the dog that he needs to stop sacrificing toys to the lawnmower :-)

Will Last!!!
My Saban is a black lab/pittie mix and is a very aggressive chewer with the bulldog jaws. I had bought the large ball for him and to be honest I didn't think it would be as big as it is or as heavy 😂😂😂!!! It's made of a very durable plastic and is holding up extremely well to his chewing on it!!! I'll be honest and say that unless you're using it outside and have some really good muscles in your arm that I would recommend buying this in the smaller size!!!! I normally play with him inside with his toys when the weather isn't good for going outside, but I don't throw this one inside because #1 it's so heavy and big that I can't throw it very good and # if I was to play with it inside I'm afraid the weight of it would break something!!! I would say that this is a great quality and very durable, but I wouldn't buy the large one again!!! I would definitely recommend this brand in a smaller size ball 👌 😊😊
