Common Name: Japanese Zelkova
A beautiful tree to 50', possibly more in ideal conditions, with slightly less spread. Bark is an attractive red-brown in youth, turning to gray-brown, often exfoliating with a character similar to the Chinese Elm. A small flower arrives in April with the leaves, and has a variable leaf color in the fall ranging from yellow to deep red. Prefers moist, deep soil, although once established it is very wind and drought tolerant, and somewhat tolerant of pollution.
