Ulmus japonica.<br />
Wisteria<br />
Wisteria is a vigorous<br />
vine that can be grown<br />
into a tree of varying<br />
heights depending upon<br />
the staking and training<br />
process. Long chains<br />
of colorful and dramatic<br />
blossoms cascade from their branches<br />
in spring. Our cultivars offer a rainbow of<br />
bloom colors.<br />
Halka Zelkova has long, gracefully arching<br />
branches which make a magnificent canopy.<br />
More than any Zelkova, its form comes closest<br />
to resembling an American Elm. Halka is the<br />
fastest growing Zelkova cultivar.<br />
