Why choose a Golden Elm?

Large lime-to-golden leaves form a broad canopy with dense summer shade and warm autumn colour. This fast-growing, long-lived tree is well suited to cool climates such as Ballarat and brings a substantial golden feature to spacious landscapes.

How can I use it in my garden?

• Use as a shade feature in a lawn, park or rural property.

• Plant an avenue for a golden display.

• Combine with Claret Ash, Liquidambar or Forest Pansy for layered colour.

Where does it grow best?

Grow in full sun to part shade in fertile, moist, well-drained soil. It is frost hardy and reliable in cool climates such as Ballarat.

What does it look like through the year?

Golden-green spring leaves become large lime-to-golden foliage in summer. Warm golden autumn colour precedes leaf fall and an open winter framework.
