Arborist Thoughts
- Another great urban tolerant tree that deserves more consideration in the landscape or as a street tree.
Japanese zelkova has an upright vase shaped habit, attractive exfoliating bark at maturity and stunning apricot to red fall color.
Would make a great alternative to Red maple for folks seeing a tree with reliable Fall color.
