Elm - English (Ulmus procera)

ELM - ENGLISH (ulmus procera) - Small, round tree with fissured, grey-brown bark bearing dark green, glossy leaves with serrated edges which are somewhat larger than the Chinese elm. The foliage turns bright yellow in autumn.
STYLE: Suitable for all styles but delicate twigs and stout, long, flexible roots make it especially suited to broom and root-over-rock styles.
WARNING: systemic insecticides and fungicides cause defoliation in Elms. Fleshy roots need some protection from frost.
