I'm looking for chinese elm raw material in europe for under €200. All the chinese I can find elms I find are s curves. I don't care what variety of chinese elm it is.
Haha that's the problem. There's barley any bonsai stores in europe compared to the US.Wish I had contacts. All mine are in the states of USA.
Unfortunately it's pretty hard to find elms here in ireland because the Brits chopped them all down. That and dutch elm disease. Though I think there's a forest nearby which has ulmus glabras.I dunno what these orange arrows are for, but if it's for Non-native transplant stands, I'd go look for one.

I think Ulmus Minor had the most interesting of all Ulmus leaf shapes. They are beautiful.
I wouldn't trip on having a Chinese Elm too much.
Especially when a $200 saw, sorry, $239.32 saw can cut off enough limbs for haphazard rooting attempts to net you more and better material than some shit Chinese Elm shipped in a dark box of hatred!
Anyway, you'll be able to sell Ulmus Minor till you can afford a right nice Chinese Elm from Japan!

There's a bonsai club near me that I'll be going to called leinster bonsai club but I'll have to wait another year because our government loves lockdowns.I wonder if you might reach out to a bonsai club from Ireland...if they may have some contacts for bonsai material.

Might want to check on that 3rd country status first and the implications of it. Tax alone would put me off and no idea if there are now phytosanitary restrictions.Maybe reach out to Kaizen. I think they mihgt have a bit more than what they are showing.

good point. I thought there was a special status for ireland. But.. Not completely informed what the deal right now is.Might want to check on that 3rd country status first and the implications of it. Tax alone would put me off and no idea if there are now phytosanitary restrictions.
It´s unfortunate but for the time being UK stores are off limits for me, not just bonsai either but across the board.
You could easily reach out to them via email or something. I'm sure they have contacts for nurseries which they buy material.There's a bonsai club near me that I'll be going to called leinster bonsai club but I'll have to wait another year because our government loves lockdowns.
At least where I live. There is only 1 tiny bonsai shop in my entire country and it doesn't have much good stuff.For sure you are joking right? In 3 hours drive I have at least 7
that might be. But although Ireland is in Europe, it is clearly not indicative of the availability of bonsai in Europe.At least where I live. There is only 1 tiny bonsai shop in my entire country and it doesn't have much good stuff.
