Introducing Ulmus parvifolia 'Elsmo', commonly known as Elsmo Lacebark Elm. A cultivar of the Chinese Elm tree, this remarkable species showcases a blending of beauty and charming fortitude. Its graceful, round-headed form boasts luxuriant dark green leaves that transfigure into a stunning yellowish to reddish purple come fall. Adding to its vibrant display, the tree's bark presents a unique mottled mix of gray, green, orange, and brown shades. True to its majestic stature, this variety can grow up to an impressive 60 feet tall.
Enjoying popularity as a common street, shade, or specimen tree, Elsmo's resilience in harsh climates, full sun exposure, and its adaptability to thrive in a wide range of soils adds to its appeal. It's further favored by bonsai enthusiasts for its easy tolerance to extensive pruning. 'Elsmo' proves its hardiness in USDA Zone 4.
Originally native to eastern Asia, including parts of northern China, Korea, and Japan, this tree has taken global center stage. It is especially celebrated for its resistance to Dutch elm disease and is undeterred by the Elm Leaf Beetle. First released by the USDA Soil Conservation Service in 1990, Ulmus parvifolia 'Elsmo' cultivar is a true testament to captivating charm and rugged resilience all rolled into one. Designed to retain its majestic splendor even in the harshest of climates, 'Elsmo' cultivar is truly an exceptional choice.
