About Japanese Zelkova Trees

Zelkova serrata is a medium-to-large deciduous tree known for its elegant vase-shaped habit and spreading crown. It features serrated, dark green leaves that transform into vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and burgundy in autumn. Highly resistant to Dutch elm disease, it serves as an excellent alternative to American elms in urban landscapes. This hardy species thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soils, tolerating wind and drought once established. Its bark adds winter interest.
