DescriptionSpecifications

Origin
The Zelkova parvifolia, also known as the Chinese Elm, has its origin in East Asia. It is a popular tree species that is particularly present in China and Japan as a street and park tree. This plant is highly appreciated for its ornamental value and is also often used in bonsai culture. It is a deciduous tree that belongs to the family of elms (Ulmaceae).

Characteristics
The Zelkova parvifolia is a small to medium-sized tree that can reach a height of 15 to 20 metres. It is characterised by a straight trunk and a wide, dome-shaped crown. The leaves are small and oval-shaped, in a bright green colour that turns to yellow in the autumn. The tree produces inconspicuous flowers and small, flattened fruits.

Care
Although the Zelkova parvifolia is a relatively low-maintenance tree, it does have certain specific requirements. The tree prefers a sunny to semi-shaded position and thrives well in neutral to slightly acidic, well-draining soils. It is quite drought tolerant, but regular watering increases the growth rate. Pruning is recommended to maintain the structure of the tree and to promote strong, healthy growth.
