Three years later it's barely grown in height, and I have NEVER pruned this tree. But just look at the ramification. It is entirely natural. I have never seen anything like it.

I suspect is is a cross between a common elm - which grow abundantly here in my neighbourhood and some ornamental variety.

Anyone have a clue what this is?

If it's really a new type where can I register the name (Ulmus Norburii)? :-)

It might well be the ultimate no-maintenance Bonsai: stays permanently compact; has small attractive leaves; doesn't need trimming; branch ramification genetically built in...
