Saw-Leaf or Japanese Zelkova |
A moderately fast growing deciduous tree, the Sawleaf Zelkova usually reaches a size 50'-60' high and as wide. Its toothed leaves are elm-like and dark green. Foliage changes to yellow or red during the fall and is spectacular. This tree starts off in a vase habit, maturing to a wide and open canopy. It becomes drought tolerant with age and is a great wind barrier. Zelkova is used as bonsai also.
