Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii', commonly known as the Camperdown Elm, is a distinctive deciduous ornamental tree renowned for its broad, umbrella-shaped canopy and gracefully twisting, weeping branches. Its large, rough-textured dark green leaves create a dense, cascading canopy throughout spring and summer before turning soft golden yellow in autumn. The tree's uniquely contorted branches provide striking architectural interest even during winter, making it an exceptional year-round feature.
Slow-growing, hardy, and low maintenance, Camperdown Elm thrives in full sun to part shade and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Typically grafted onto a standard trunk, its dramatic weeping habit makes it an outstanding specimen tree for lawns, parks, cottage gardens, and formal landscapes. Combining sculptural form, elegant foliage, and impressive longevity, Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii' is a timeless addition to residential and commercial gardens.
