Chinese Lacebark Elm, Small

Product Details

  • BEGINNER FRIENDLY — Compatible with our busy lifestyle: can recover quickly from neglect and compatible with the easy "clip-and-grow method" to become a showpiece quickly.
  • HARDY — Adapts to a variety of different soils and tolerates both wet and dry sites. Generally tolerant of urban conditions. Thrives in various climates, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists.
  • SMALL LEAVES & INTERESTING BARK — Known for its small, notched leaves and the mottled, aged look that its bark is able to develop over time.
  • FALL FOLIAGE — A deciduous species, Chinese Elms' leaves will turn yellow in the fall, and about 10% of our trees will also have red fall foliage under the right growing conditions.
  • Native to eastern Asia, including China, India, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. 
  • In comparison to our larger Chinese Elms, these will look a little younger, come in smaller 10" wide pots, have slightly thinner trunks, and a little less ramification (branches/leaves).
  • Comes in a traditional clay pot from YiXing, featuring a patent-pending water-retaining design for easy care.
