Ulmus parvifolia 'Allee' (Emerald Vase)

Allee Lacebark Elm

Allée Lacebark Elm develops an upright vase shape with branches arching outward above the trunk. Its green summer canopy turns yellow-orange to rusty red in autumn.

The trunk is an additional feature: patches of orange, tan and gray give the bark a patterned surface. A spacious planting allows both the branch outline and the changing bark colors to be appreciated.

Grow in a sunny position with room for the broad crown.
