  • Description

  • Notes

Graceful, round-headed tree often with pendulous branches. Lacebark Elm grows moderately 40 to 50 feet, with a spread of 25 to 40 feet. Small, deep green, lustrous leaves turn yellow or orange in fall. Small, greenish yellow flower appear in summer, followed by small light brown fruit; both are insignificant. Bark is brown gray but with maturity, exfoliates to reveal orange, gray, green and brown inner bark. Excellent shade tree.
