Dynasty Lacebark Elm
'Dynasty' Lacebark elm originated from the Natoional Arboretum's selection program, and possesses many traits which make it ideal for a multitude of landscape uses. 'Dynasty' forms a graceful, vase-shaped, spreading canopy of long, arching, and somewhat weeping branches. Leaves are two to three-inches-long, shiny, dark green, leathery, and become transformed into various shades of red in the autumn. Branches grow up and away from the ground making it ideal for a street tree. The somewhat exfoliating, dark grey bark reveals random, mottled patterns of darker grey, green and occasionally, orange, and brown, adding great textural and visual interest.
