Saw-Leaf or Japanese Zelkova |
Description
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.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
