Zelkova serrata 'Green Vase'

Sorry, now sold out
£55.00

(Japanese Water Elm) Native to parts of Asia, Zelkova serrata 'Green Vase' has long deep green, narrow leaves with a serrated edge which turn shades of plum-purple and orange in autumn.

More narrow than a classic Zelkova serrata and often used as an ornamental street tree in Japan and North America, this is a rare and lovely, upright vase-shaped tree once established.

Most vibrant autumn colour will usually be seen when planted in a position with plenty of sun.
