Common name: Musashino Japanese zelkova
Family: Ulmaceae (elm family)
Distribution: Species native to e. Asia

Comments: A selection noted for having a narrower habit than the species. Though growing to around 45' tall at maturity, will only attain a spread of 15-20'. Early spring flowers are tiny and inconspicuous. Leaves are dark green, rough to the touch with coarse teeth along the margins, 5-6" long. Fruits ripen to tiny, dark brown achenes. A cultivar that is particularly useful for urban areas where space may be limited.
