The Chinese Elm is a fast-growing semi-deciduous tree with horizontally climbing branches becoming an open, round-headed tree as it matures. It has very small, glossy-green, serrated leaves which turn a brilliant yellow before falling off in winter. It has a uniquely, striking attractive bark that sheds in irregular patches to reveal beautiful mottled colours of grey, green, orange and brown. An excellent centrepiece in any garden or public pathway.
