Green Vase Zelkova
Zelkova serrata 'Green Vase'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
Plant Family: Ulmaceae
Plant Description: This large deciduous tree has a tidy vase shape that makes for a reliable and versatile shade tree. A good street tree whose upright ascending branches resemble the iconic American Elm and provide easy clearance for vehicles. Taller and narrower than 'Village Green'. Dark green, narrow, toothed leaves turn bronze red in the fall. Narrow branch structure may require some corrective pruning to avoid crowding, weak joints, and other problems. Requires very little water once established. Tolerates urban pollution and suffers few diseases.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Deciduous
Plant Care: Tree - Deciduous (single-stemmed woody plants that lose their leaves every winter): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most trees. With spring blooming trees, prune after the blooms are spent. Choose species that are resistant to pest damage. Monitor the tree for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis. Protect the trunk especially where maintenance activities, such as mowing, may cause damage. Newly planted trees in areas with high exposure should have the trunk protected during the winter.
