We think that Ulmus glabra Pendula is one of the very best weeping elm trees for small to medium-sized gardens. Forming a naturally flattened top, the long branches will droop down to form a ‘skirt’ almost to the ground. From spring to summer it is covered with largish deep green foliage, changing to a deep yellow in autumn. Weeping Elm with its bare branches makes an equally interesting ‘sculptural’ addition to the garden.
It is a fantastic feature specimen tree: its horizontal spreading branching makes it a great shade tree.
Soil: Thrives well in most soil conditions providing it has good drainage.
Conditions: Prefers a full sun or part shade position. Tolerant to wind, pollution, coastal conditions and frost.
Size: Height 4-10m x width 5m.
