PLANT PROFILE

Ulmus parvifolia ‘Reflection’ looks excellent when used as a formal feature tree or screening plant in urban and suburban landscapes. Its compact, symmetrical canopy and glossy mid-green leaves with a subtle sheen create an eye-catching, refined presence that suits streetscapes and garden focal points.

Growing up to 10 meters tall and wide, it fits well in medium to large spaces with 5–7 meters spacing for optimal canopy development. This cultivar tolerates drought, pollution, compacted soils, and light coastal exposure, making it reliable in challenging environments. It thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained soils.

Low to moderate maintenance is needed, primarily early pruning to maintain shape. For enhanced landscape impact, it can be underplanted with shade-tolerant groundcovers or small shrubs to create layered planting schemes.

Select an Ideal Location: Choose a well-drained site in your garden that receives full sun to light shade. Ensure the area is free from competing vegetation.

Prepare the Soil: Prior to planting, improve soil quality by adding organic matter to enhance drainage and nutrient content.

Planting: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball of 'Reflection' and at the same depth. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.

Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
