Zelkova is a medium sized graceful wide spreading tree with a round crown and smooth grey bark. The slender oval leaves are up to 12cm long and have narrow pointed teeth. In autumn they turn a bronze red. It is related to Elm (Ulmus) but has proven to be resistant to Dutch Elm disease and so is suggested as a substitute. Pollution tolerant so can be used as a street tree. In Japan it is used as a valuable timber tree.
