Lacebark ElmChinese Elm or "Lacebark" Elm is grown as a majestic, long lived shade tree which grows fast and produces no flowers or fruit to litter sidewalks, decks or parking lots. 'Allee' grows very upright when young, then begins to spread out into an attractive vase shape. Leaves turn rich yellow color before dropping for winter. Leaves re emerge in spring. Trees develop gorgeous "exfoliating" (peeling) bark as they mature.
