[IBC] I need quick help on zelkova
Hi all! I'm in the middle of answering a "Bonsai Doctor" question
from someone who has a "Zelkova Schneidria", but thinks it might actually be a chinese elm. Can someone quickly tell me how you'd tell the difference? -- Nina Shishkoff Frederick, MD ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Evergreen Gardenworks++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Well, first, I don't find a Z. schneidria. ;-) I'd guess the Chinese elm leaves would be some sizes smaller than any Zelkova. Upper surfaces of Z leaves are rough feeling on top; U.p. leaves are smooth and lustrous. Zelkova bark is smooth and gray in younger stems. Older trees have bark much like U.p. but Zelkova's bark usually doesn't exfoliate. (From Dirr) Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL I think the leaves on a zelkova have coarser teeth too.

I dont know about zelkova though.
