Common Name: Discovery Japanese Elm
Discovery Japanese elm has dark green foliage that turns yellow in fall. Its relatively upright to vase-shaped form suits a shade-tree planting. University trials describe it as slow growing, cold hardy and drought tolerant, with resistance to Dutch elm disease.
Grow in full sun.
