Zelkova serrata (Japanese Zelkova)
The Japanese Zelkova is a hardy urban tree that may be used for street plantings and residential shade. It has a vase-shaped spreading habit with typically vertical branches. When young, the bark is smooth and reddish brown, with pronounced cherry-like lenticels. The tree's exterior bark becomes gray-brown with age and frequently exfoliates, revealing an orangish inner bark. In the fall, the medium green leaves change colours of yellow, orange, brown, and deep red to reddish-purple.
