Everclear Elm (Ulmus parvifolia 'Everclear') is a refined, columnar selection of Chinese elm bred for urban and suburban settings where space is limited. Its upright, tightly oval shape makes it perfect for lining streets, driveways, or narrow side yards without overwhelming the space. The small, glossy green leaves turn shades of yellow in fall, and the bark develops a beautiful patchwork texture as it matures. Everclear Elm is incredibly resilient—thriving in poor soils, tolerating drought, and showing strong resistance to Dutch elm disease and other common issues. It’s a low-maintenance tree with high visual payoff.
