Ulmus 'Jacqueline Hillier' is a dwarf elm cultivar, prized for its slow-growing, dense, and shrubby form, it is a perfect Bonsai starter tree.
Left to grow naturally it will typically reach 6-8 feet tall and wide. Its small, finely toothed, dark green leaves turn vibrant orange in fall, adding seasonal charm. With a bonsai-like appearance and resistance to Dutch elm disease, it’s ideal for small gardens, rockeries, containers, or as a low hedge. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun to light shade, this resilient elm offers unique character and low maintenance.
