JACQUELINE HILLIER ELM 3gal

This is a gem of a tree for smaller spaces and those who appreciate a touch of elegance. Unlike its larger cousins, this elm is a dwarf variety, typically growing to about 8 to 12 feet tall and wide. It's a slow grower, forming a dense, rounded shape with petite, charming leaves.   

What makes the Jacqueline Hillier Elm special is its adaptability and unique character. It's hardy, tolerating various conditions and even showing good resistance to Dutch elm disease. The tiny, serrated leaves emerge a lovely green and then turn a beautiful orange in the fall, offering a subtle but delightful seasonal change.   

Because of its size and dense branching, it's a fantastic choice for smaller gardens, rockeries, or even as a container plant. Many also appreciate it for bonsai, as its small leaves and interesting branching structure lend themselves well to miniature landscapes.   

To keep your Jacqueline Hillier Elm happy, plant it in full sun to light shade in well-drained soil. Consistent watering, especially when young, will help it establish. And just like with all your trees and shrubs, a layer of Watters Premium Mulch around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. A light feeding in spring with Watters All-Purpose Plant Food will also encourage healthy growth. It's a unique and lovely addition to any garden!
