The Japanese Elm or Zelkova is a medium to large sized deciduous tree that can grow up to 12m tall and 10m wide. It is perfect for avenues and has stunning Autumn colours of yellow, copper, bronze and red.

Japanese Zelkova is an extremely hardy tree and prefers full sun but will tolerate any conditions. For an avenue we recommend planting these trees 7m apart or for a screen 2m apart.
