Zelkova serrata 'Green Vase'
Common Name: Green Vase Japanese Zelkova
Green Vase zelkova grows into an upright, arching crown with a fine-textured canopy. Its vigorous growth produces a substantial shade tree, and orange autumn leaves add a seasonal highlight.
The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes orange. 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.
