Zelkova carpinifolia ‘James Gordon’

One of the most distinctive and magnificent of all hardy deciduous trees. Seldom planted, this, the most commonly grown form in cultivation for over two centuries, has a most characteristic relatively fastigiate growth form, but is unlike those found in the wild (personal observation). Bark is smooth pale-grey and the short trunk soon breaks into a multitude of upright stems forming sinuous shapes with maturity. Elm-like leaves turn to gold and russet in autumn. Drought and heat tolerant and suitable for virtually all soil conditions, this is a tree for the future.
