Village Green Zelkova

Size

Village Green Zelkova is a upward branching deciduous tree with a vase-shaped crown and bark that exfoliates when mature.  The slender, lightly toothed foliage is a medium green that transitions from gold to rusty red in fall.  Insignificant green flowers in spring give way to non-showy fruits in fall.  Best color with full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Tolerates drought and urban conditions.  Thought Village Green is a fast grower its branches stay strong.
