Ulmus glabra ‘Pendula’

Ulmus glabra ‘Pendula’ (weeping elm) is a small, deciduous tree whose branches grow rather horizontally before they droop down at an acute angle for a distinctly weeping appearance. The branches grow relatively close to each other, so the canopy is dense. When the leaves have fallen, the tree’s appearance is sculptural, dramatic and eye-catching. The trunk is gray, and it is quite smooth. The tree’s flowers are very handsome, and it is completely covered in white flowers just before its new leaves bloom. The tree’s foliage is fresh and green. The leaves are medium and dense, especially towards the end of the branches. The tree’s fall display is yellow. The tree requires watering in its early years until established. In years with little precipitation and during the hot winter months, we recommend watering it so that it thrives. Be careful when watering since the tree will suffer from too much water. It is quite resistant to winds and to a good extent also to sea spray. In Israel, the tree is propagated vegetatively. To increase the height of the canopy, make sure to prune and design the tree in its early years, which we do professionally in the nursery.

We also offer an umbrella-designed Ulmus glabra ‘Pendula’ at the nursery.
