Why plant Village Green™ Zelkova?

It doesn't take a village to grow this tree! The Village Green™ Zelkova is one fast-growing tree that is relatively low maintenance! These deciduous trees have a strong, straight and sturdy trunk that hold its outreached limbs that are clustered with lush, finely serrated, and glossy dark green leaves. In the fall, the foliage is a collage of many pleasing autumn tones from yellows to reds. When this tree is young, the bark is smooth, once matured it turns into an exfoliating texture. This is one eye-catching ornamental tree that you simply just cannot miss out on.

Village Green™ Zelkova are native to Japan, Taiwan and the Eastern China area. The Zelkova has been promoted in the recent years as a substitute for the American Elm because of its resistance to the Dutch Elm Disease. Princeton Nurseries in Princeton, New Jersey introduced this open pollinated seedling into commerce in the 1960s.

These Zelkovas require a medium amount of water on a regular watering schedule if rainfall is not reliable in your area. After a few years, this tree will develop periodic drought tolerance but do not be stingy with this trees water!

How To Fertilize

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*Big trees and shrubs, Size XL and bigger, will take approximately 21 to 28 days to be delivered, during live shipping periods.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health.. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
