Zelkova Serrata 'Musashino' (Musashino Japanese Zelkova)

Zelkova Serrata 'Musashino', commonly known as the Musashino Japanese Zelkova, is a striking deciduous tree valued for its narrow, upright growth habit and exceptional seasonal interest. Unlike the broad-spreading form of the species, this cultivar develops a strong columnar shape, making it ideal for smaller gardens, streetscapes, and areas where vertical impact is desired. Fresh green foliage emerges in spring, providing a dense canopy through summer before transforming into brilliant shades of golden yellow, orange, and red in autumn.

Renowned for its adaptability, durability, and low maintenance requirements, the Musashino Japanese Zelkova performs well in a range of soil types and urban environments. Its elegant form, attractive bark, and spectacular autumn colour make it an excellent specimen, avenue, or feature tree, delivering year-round structure and lasting landscape appeal.
