Red Fall Color, Broad Spreading Shape on Low Habit Why Wireless® Zelkova Trees? Prized for its lower profile, broad branching, and copper red fall color, the Wireless Zelkova Tree is a landscape favorite. Unlike similar varieties, the Wireless Zelkova has a smaller size, cultivated to fit into smaller yards or gardens. The Zelkova is also famous for its smooth, dark brown bark and deep green, feather-shaped foliage that transforms into a dramatic scarlet hue. Because of its unique shape, the Wireless Zelkova Tree provides shade or visual interest to wide areas, like in patios or under power lines along the street. And since the tree’s branching grows higher on its trunk, it's perfect for creating elegant shade in your landscape. Even better? This Zelkova is hardy and strong. Thriving down to -20 degrees, this formidable shade tree does it all. Why Trees.com is Better We've planted, grown, and nurtured our Wireless Zelkova Trees for amazing results.

Planting: The Wireless Zelkova is easy to plant in your yard. Because of its tolerance to most soil conditions, you can plant this tree anywhere you like as long as it’s in full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Adding mulch to the base of your tree will help keep the moisture in and prevent competition from weeds and grass. You don't need to add anything to your soil when planting - simply plant in a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. 2. Watering: This tree can tolerate wet or dry conditions. Be sure to water the tree weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. After a couple of years, you only need to water the tree during very dry spells. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water your tree. 3. Pruning: Remove dead bark and branches in the fall.
