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.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Green Vase' is a Zelkova selection that tall, with a narrower, upright crown than other zelkova, growing 45 feet tall and about 30 feet wide. Leaves are roundish, serrated, and green, with orange-bronze fall color. Insignificant small green flowers appear in spring as the foliage emerges. Flowers give way to small, non-showy, round, wingless seeds that ripen in autumn. Bark is smooth and gray in youth, but exfoliates with age to reveal orange-brown inner bark. Use as a shade or patio tree.
