Ulmus parvifolia Seiju
Even in winter, without leaves, this dwarf Chinese Elm has a fascinating look. Buds along the plant's many short, twiggy shoots look like strands of jewels, as do the green leaves when they emerge. Older stems develop exfoliating bark. Use the small, slow-growing, high-interest plant in rock garden, container or small bed to proved an Asian aesthetic. Prefers full to part sun and moist, well-drained soil. Is a sport of Hokkaido
