PLANT PROFILE

Ulmus minor ‘Variegata’ looks excellent as a large, striking shade tree in parks, large gardens, and avenue plantings. Its variegated leaves with creamy-white margins create a luminous silver effect that adds unique visual interest throughout the growing season. The broad, symmetrical crown provides generous canopy coverage and strong shade.

Reaching 15–20 meters in height with a 10–13 meter spread, it’s well suited for spacious landscapes seeking both structure and ornamental appeal. This tree tolerates urban conditions, moderate drought, and various soils, making it reliable in many settings.

For enhanced landscape impact, plant with spring-flowering bulbs or shade-tolerant groundcovers beneath to add layered texture and seasonal interest. Maintenance is low to moderate, with formative pruning recommended early to develop strong structure.

How to Plant:

  1. Select a Suitable Location: Choose a well-draining site with adequate space to accommodate the mature size of the tree.
  2. Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-prepared and enriched with organic matter.
  3. Dig a Hole: Create a hole that is deep and wide enough to accommodate the root ball.
  4. Position the Tree: Place the 'Variegata' Elm in the center of the hole, ensuring it is level with the ground's surface.
  5. Backfill: Fill the hole with soil and gently pack it around the root ball.
  6. Water Thoroughly: After planting, water the tree thoroughly to help settle the soil.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
