PLANT PROFILE

Ulmus glabra ‘Lutescens’ looks excellent when used as a feature or avenue tree in parks, large gardens, and streetscapes. Its broad, rounded canopy provides strong summer shade, while its vivid golden autumn foliage adds stunning seasonal contrast.

Growing 10–15 meters tall with a 12–15 meter spread, this fast-growing tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil types. It tolerates light frost, urban pollution, and drought once established.

For enhanced impact, plant with spring bulbs or shade-tolerant groundcovers beneath to create layered, year-round interest. Early formative pruning helps develop a strong, attractive structure.
