Zelkova serrata – Japanese Zelkova is a large, stately and very handsome tree. Elm-like (this is, after all, a member of Ulmaceae) green summer leaves turn golden orange or range to deep red in autumn before dropping. The bark on Zelkova serrata is somewhat cherry-like and smooth in youth becoming increasingly mottled and interesting; it is always a handsome element in the winter landscape, a strong powerful presence all through the year and worthy should have the space for this imposing specimen. Site in full sun to part shade planted in any fertile to average soil that drains. Established, potted Japanese Zelkova cutting grown.
