Lace Bark Elm

A Lace Bark Elm Tree adds a lovely, finished quality to any garden, mixing a traditional shape with interesting details. Its branches curve downwards to form a roof of leaves that is both airy and dense, letting some sunlight through for a bit of shade. Because of this, it’s perfect for making nice places to be outside without completely losing the sun. Its form and how it grows mean it will always look good and fits in with lots of garden types, from older, more formal designs to newer, simpler ones.

If you want a tree that looks great but won't need a lot of looking after, this is a superb option. Lace Bark Elms are adaptable, coping well with lots of different types of soil and dry spells. Strong, stable roots and thick branches give it long-lasting strength, and its natural shape means you won't have to prune it very often. With time it will be a reliable, easy to manage part of the garden that continues to look lovely every year.

The tree develops special characteristics as it gets older. The bark becomes more interestingly shaped and colored, building up layers for more depth and interest all year round. The leaves make a lush canopy in spring and summer, and turn to gentle, warm shades in autumn. It can be the main attraction or used to show off the edges of your land, and will bring both beauty and an increase in your property’s worth. If you are looking for a tree that is elegant, strong and will look good for years, you’d be hard pressed to find one with as much impact as a Lace Bark Elm, particularly when you decide on a Lace Bark Elm!
