bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Elm Dropping Leaves Left And Right

It's a dwarf chinese elm, I'm not sure of the precise veriety. I am keeping it, and another elm indoors, which according to the Bonsai store owner (not mallsai, a legit store) is an acceptable way to keep them. I don't know if it went dormant last winter as I only came into ownership of it a month or so ago. It was pushing new growth until it suddenly started dropping all its leaves.

My other elm of the same veriety is doing fine, and I've had it since around December. It did not go dormant, and my Bonsai guy said that these shoulnd't.

Is my information incorrect? If so, I'll need to give these trees to someone who can winter them outdoors. I live in an apartment in CT and cannot winter them myself.
