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 Merlin the Chinese Elm, native to Japan and Eastern China. I’m known for my fine-toothed leaves, graceful lines, and attractive bark.

I do best in full to partial sun conditions. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 10 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Water me once every 7-10 days, or more if it’s really hot/dry. Make sure to observe me and check the weight of my pot, when it is 1/2 lighter or my top soil is dry, I want water! 

Though I am an indoor tree, I love being outside in the warmer months (or by an open window) as I like to feel the breeze. I do better in cooler spaces than warm ones. So make sure I stay in a cool spot over the winter, far from any drafts and radiators. I will yellow and drop some leaves come fall but am a prolific grower in the spring/summer. My foliage might also yellow as I adapt to change/s in environment. Feel free to fertilize 1x/month in the growing season. I require frequent pruning, but allow new shoots to extend 3-5 nodes before pruning them back to 1-2 leaves. 

Symbolism: As a Wood element tree in Feng Shui, the Chinese 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.
