About
Lacebark Elm Trees: The lacebark elm is a superb tree
for urban conditions and should be widely considered for use as a
street tree. It is a very hardy, tough tree that is capable of withstanding
the rigors of harsh climates, poor soils and streetscape situations.
The species is known for quick growth, particularly if planted in
fertile, well drained soils. The dark green, oval leaves of the lacebark
elm vary from 3/4 to 2 1/2 inches in length.

The
leaf margins are serrate or saw-like. Most lacebark elms loose their
leaves late in the fall. Fall leaf color is variable, but some yellowish
to reddish purple is possible even in warmer climates. The bark
of this elm is perhaps its finest feature. The grey bark begins
to exfoliate or peel off in small patches as the trunk matures resulting
in an interesting combination of mottled colors beneath, including
green, gray, orange and brown.
