Ulmus glabra Camperdownii

Ulmus glabra Camperdownii Details

Ulmus glabra Camperdownii, commonly known as the Camperdown Elm tree, is a deciduous variety grown for its cascading and colourful foliage. The lush and large leaves emerge lime-green in spring, quickly age to dark green, then develop impressive shades of orange and yellow in autumn before falling. These are held on pendulous branches that will reach to the ground. It typically grows to 4 m tall and the same wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this small tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site with some shelter. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, poor soils, and dry periods. Ulmus Camperdownii is commonly grown as a specimen tree or included in mixed planting.
