Ulmus carp. x parvifolia 'Frontier'
Common Name: Frontier Lacebark Elm
Frontier Elm extends its seasonal display with red-purple autumn leaves that can hold their color for an extended period. The foliage is glossy green through summer, with reddish tones on young growth.
The crown starts upright and pyramidal, becoming more oval as the tree matures. This hybrid has reported tolerance of Dutch elm disease, elm yellows and urban growing conditions, making it useful for a substantial landscape planting.
Choose sun or partial shade and leave adequate room for the mature canopy.
