Jacqueline Hillier Elm

Jacqueline Hillier Elm

Ulmus x hollandica ‘Jacqueline Hillier’ is a unique, slow-growing, dwarf elm with elegant, dense branching that forms a canopy. Typical of elm trees, it has an aggressive root system and will thrive in any soil type and in exposed positions. It is excellent for use in the garden or a container. The leaves are mini-versions of those of the gigantic, standard elm, which gives the small tree an advantage as a bonsai specimen in imitating an ancient tree.

Many perennials and bonsai plants will have a ‘winter look’ that differs from how they look when actively growing.  Colder temperatures and short days alter the appearance of these plants as they go thru seasonal changes.  Some plants require this reboot to bloom and/or perform at their best during the growing season.  Plants may remain semi-dormant until early spring.  Rest assured that these cosmetic changes do not adversely affect the health of your plant.
