Zelkova serrata ?Schmidtlow
Common Name: Schmidtlow Zelkova Serrata
Wireless zelkova (Zelkova serrata 'Schmidtlow') forms a low, broad canopy with strongly spreading branches. Red autumn foliage adds a vivid seasonal feature to a tree selected for reduced height.
The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes red. Allow the natural framework to develop without crowding neighboring plants or paths.
Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and allow enough room for the developing crown. Confirm actual clearance requirements before planting near overhead utilities.
