Delicate Dwarf Elm with Fine Textured Foliage
The Jacqueline Hillier Elm Tree is a unique dwarf elm variety prized for its compact size and finely textured foliage that creates a graceful, airy appearance. Its small, rounded leaves remain a fresh green throughout the growing season, offering year-round visual interest. This slow-growing tree features a naturally dense, mounded form, making it ideal for small gardens, patios, or as a distinctive accent plant. With good adaptability to various soil types and urban conditions, the Jacqueline Hillier Elm is a low-maintenance choice for adding elegance and structure to landscapes.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Carefully unpack your tree and loosen the roots. Choose an area that receives full sun (up to 6 hours of sunlight a day) and dig a hole twice the width of the root ball.
Set the tree in the hole at ground level and firmly pack the hole with soil. Water to establish.
2. Watering: Water your Frontier Elm more frequently in the first year. Once established, water once a week. To avoid root rot, avoid over-watering or standing water near the base of the tree.
