Ulmus parvifolia


Deciduous | Exotic | Fast Growing Speed | Average Coastal Tolerance | Good Wind Tolerance

A graceful tree, suitable for the Cape conditions.

Delicate and fine small leaves with a lush canopy in summer for that much needed shade in the garden. It makes an excellent feature tree, fantastic park tree as well as suitable for avenues. In autumn, the foliage turns a golden colour before dropping for the dormant phase.

Not only is the Chinese Elm easy on the eye, but it also has a high tolerance of drought conditions, periodic flooding, clay soil as well as good wind tolerance. Making it a gorgeous and hardy tree!
