| | Zelkova serrata |
 | | Japanese Zelkova is very sensitive to being transplanted in Autumn, and care should be taken to amend the soil, fertilize, water thoroughly, mulch adequately, and avoid Winter salt spray, to enhance survival chances during the first Winter, if transplanting cannot be delayed until Spring |
 | | Japanese Zelkova is a large vase-shaped shade tree, with several other ornamental features (ornamental bark, clean Summer foliage, fall color, fine-textured twigs) that make it an excellent substitute for the American Elm. |
 | | Zelkova serrata is one of the two best large shade trees with a vase shape, with a rapid growth rate and stately appearance that, coupled with its other ornamental features of Summer/Autumn foliage, fine texture, and attractive bark, make it a truly underutilized tree in modern landscapes. |
