| Ulmus parvifolia
The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm. |
| Content | Capital pears are the narrowest growing of all the ornamental pear trees. These pears look great used to frame entrance ways, multi planted to create a mini pear tree forest or used as a tall narrow screen that requires little or no maintenance. They develop a small bare trunk at the base which can be used as a feature or under planted to create a dense leafy look in the garden. Plant in full sun to part shade in reasonably well drained soils for optimum growth. | | | Video: Chinese Elms as a beautiful, medium size feature tree for a tough spot
