Ulmus parvifolia or chinese elm is a very good tree for Bonsai. Yes they are hearty and and the leaves are pretty decent size for bonsai..

The Azaleas are a different type of bonsai artwork. You really dont touch them a whole lot but you sure do take care of them. We got rid of all of our azalea's (satsukui) so we can concetrate on Juni's and Pines.. (but don't tell Nancy that)
