Selected for its low height and broad spreading shape, Wireless Zelkova has a broadly spreading vase shape and grows to only about 24 feet tall and 36 feet wide. An ideal size and shape for street plantings under utility lines. As with other zelkova, the leaves are round to oblong, with serrated margins. Green summer leaves give way to red fall color. This tree would well in groupings or singularly, near patios, walks, and smaller landscapes.
Grow in average, well-drained soils in full sun. Established trees tolerate some drought. Prefers rich, loamy soil, though is adaptive. Generally tolerant of urban conditions. On the negative side, it loses its leaves late in the season, and so sometime catches snow which may result in broken limbs.
