Product Overview
This attractive tree is often called the lacebark elm. It is a 40-60' deciduous tree with a rounded crown and long pendent branches. Native to eastern Asia, it is grown for its graceful foliage, multi-colored bark, fast growth rate and good resistance to Dutch elm disease and beetles. Fall brings papery, winged-seeds which are rather handsome. The most decorative feature of this tree is its distinctive blotchy bark, on mature specimens, the bark flakes to reveal patches of pewter, ivory, orange, tan and green. This tree is nice as a focal point, shade tree or planted as a grove. S/M
