THE Lacebark
Elm
About the Lacebark Elm :
The Lacebark Elm tree, Ulmus parvifolia, is a
superb tree for urban conditions and should be
widely considered for use as a street tree. This
deciduous shade tree is a very hardy, tough tree
that is capable of withstanding the rigors of harsh
climates, poor soils and streetscape situations. The
species is known for quick growth, particularly if
planted in fertile, well drained soils. The dark
green, oval leaves of the lacebark elm vary from 3/4
to 2 1/2 inches in length. Most lacebark elms lose
their leaves late in the fall.
Fall leaf color is variable, but some yellowish
to reddish purple is possible even in warmer
climates. The bark of this elm is perhaps its finest
feature. The grey bark begins to exfoliate or peel
off in small patches as the trunk matures resulting
in an interesting combination of mottled colors
beneath, including green, gray, orange and brown |
