Ulmus x hollandica ‘Jacqueline Hillier’ (Dwarf Elm Niwaki)

A beautiful dwarf elm cultivar with an unknown origin. It has a dense spreading habit making it ideal for Niwaki. Fortunately it is unaffected by Dutch elm disease.

Full sun or partial shade and reasonably well drained, fertile soil. 'By cuttings'

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
