Add item to quote to see pricing

Zelkova serrata 'Musashino' is a stand out in the world of urban landscaping. Known more commonly as the Musashino Japanese Zelkova, this striking specimen distinguishes itself from others with its skyward-reaching, columnar growth habit and expansive, lush green canopy. Boasting a mature height of 45 feet and slim 15-foot spread, its size contributes to its architectural elegance. The dark green leaves, engraved with fine serrated edges, offer a lively display in the summer months and erupt into a crescendo of yellow, copper, and bronze hues as autumn arrives. A noteworthy feature is its admirable tolerance to air pollution, pests, and diseases, paired with its accommodating nature towards different soil conditions and pruning, making it a low-maintenance yet high-impact addition to your urban scene. Revel in the year-round interest it affords, especially remarkable when planted along walkways or as a statement tree. Where resilience meets aesthetics, the Musashino Japanese Zelkova truly shines. It thrives under full sun to partial shade, and executes moderate water usage. Whether you are one for substance, style, or preferably both, the Zelkova serrata 'Musashino' is an excellent choice.
