Zelkova serrata (Japanese Zelkova) is a graceful deciduous tree prized for its elegant vase-shaped form. Featuring finely serrated green leavesthat turn stunning shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn. With smooth grey bark that exfoliates attractively with age, it provides multi-seasonal interest and refined structure. Often used as a shade tree or street tree, it’s tolerant of urban conditions, wind and drought once established. Zelkova serrata is ideal for large gardens, avenues or architectural landscapes.
