Notes
'Jacqueline Hillier' Dutch elm (Ulmus hollandica 'Jacqueline Hillier') is a tree for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows 8 to 12 feet tall and wide, so it stays small for an elm. Green blooms open in early to mid spring. The leaves also turn color in fall.
Pairs well with Cherry, Indigo, Feather reed grass, and Greig's tulip.
