?Attractive and always yellow? (Krussmann) describes the narrow, toothed foliage of this impressive large tree... a full grown tree must really be something! S/M
A very fast-growing yellow-gold form of the English Elm, sometimes growing 5 ft. in a season, eventually becomes 35 feet tall and round-headed. If you want shade but not darkness, this is your tree. It makes a glowing beacon from afar and is a tremendous contrast tree. Minimum temperature: -30°F
The large toothed golden leaves on this tree do not scorch in the sun. The mature tree is open and graceful to 35'. zone 6
