Ulmus hollandica 'Jacqueline Hillier'
Overview
Dutch elm (Ulmus hollandica 'Jacqueline Hillier') is a deciduous tree with a rounded crown and graceful, arching branches, known for its ornamental beauty. Dark green leaves turn to a golden yellow colour in autumn, a feature that makes it a popular choice for street and park trees. This tree is also known for its tolerance to a wide range of soil, temperature, and moisture conditions. In addition, it has relatively few pests and diseases, making this plant species hardy and resilient. As a bonus, it bears small, fragrant flowers that petals mature into a dark brown fruit. Dutch elm is an ideal eye-catching addition to any garden or outdoor space.
