Perhaps the most distinctly vase shaped of all the Zelkova. Magnificent arching habit is evident even in young trees. At maturity the arching is very dramatic. The main branches can easily be 20 feet or more up the trunk There is something special about walking or playing under a Zelkova, you feel the presence of the tree but it does not interfere with you in any way. A great tree for lining a driveway. Excellent shade, lawn and park tree. Widely adaptable – a very good urban tree.
