Re: Purple leaf elm
Beautiful bark colour (not to mention the rest of it). Very natural looking tree.
I'd not heard of this cultivar before and am having a hard time finding any nurseries that stock them. Any idea where one might be able to pick some up around Melbourne?

Stunning bark in this. Does it ramify like other elms or is it a challenge to work with. I really do enjoy looking at this tree though.

Hi Treeman,
You might want to get an eye check done, that's actually a yellow leaf elm.

I have a few small ones but I'll have to dig around for them.MWGH wrote:Beautiful bark colour (not to mention the rest of it). Very natural looking tree.

Re: Purple leaf elm
It's a very good tree to work with. Defoliation works well and there's no die back. It seems stronger than procera.Matthew wrote:Mike
