About This Plant
Sun; deciduous. The bark peels in attractive multicolored patterns, as if mature trunks had been painted by an impressionist. Leaves are small, similar to cedar elm.
The graceful, vase-like form and fall color makes Chinese Elm a widespread replacement for American Elms ravaged by disease in the U.S. It grows swiftly in clay soils and tolerates compaction.Maintenance
Pruning; as with any elm, training helps provide a stronger branch structure.
Pruning is always optional. Cuts should only be made at a bud or branch; in general focus on minimizing dead and damaged branches. As with any tree, remove no more than 25% of the total canopy during any five-year cycle.
Mulch with at least 2″ of wood chips or pine bark. A tree’s mulched area should be six feet at minimum.
