The Chinese Elm has been a top-performing shade tree in the Southwestern US for over a century, and is widely popular for good reasons. Tried and true, the Chinese Elm is very tolerant to poor soil, poor weather, and can still provide the large, wide shade that it's known for. Moon Valley takes great care to provide only the strongest and most uniform examples of the Chinese Elm.

The Chinese Elm is also commonly called “Evergreen Elm”. In very mild winters, Chinese Elms can retain their leaves through the season, however most years they are briefly deciduous. The Chinese Elm is a strong, tolerant shade tree that can stand as the centerpiece of any landscape project, or plant in groups to shade an even wider area!

Keep all of your trees healthy with regular applications of Moon Dust fertilizer and Supercharged Moon Juice for maximum performance.
