Description

Ulmus parvifolia 'Sagei' is a fantastic dwarf variety of Chinese Elm tree ideal for smaller gardens, reaching a compact height and spread of only 3 metres. Like other Chinese Elm, this tree is admired for its attractive exfoliating bark which peels back to reveal a multitude of colours. Small, shiny green leaves turn bright shades of red, orange and yellow in late autumn.

Plant Ulmus parvifolia 'Sagei' in a full sun to partial shade position in a moist, well-draining soil.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Elm trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Pruning is not required regularly, but if you do need to prune Elm trees then do it in the dormant season.
