Zelkova serrata 'Village Green'

Village Green Zelkova

Village Green zelkova has a dense canopy of dark green leaves and a rounded vase-shaped outline. Relatively vigorous growth builds a broad shade tree with rusty red autumn foliage.

The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes red. 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.
