European ash · Celtis australis

A tree for long-term planning. The European elm provides shade once its crown has developed and lets more light through when it loses its leaves in winter. A Mediterranean choice for spacious gardens.

What you will receive

• Plant: Celtis australis, young specimen.
• Size: 10-litre nursery pot, nominal diameter of 25 cm.
• Unit: one plant in a nursery pot. The ceramic pot and accessories shown in the photographs are not included.

The litres and diameter describe the container, not the height of the tree. Size and foliage density vary depending on the specimen and the time of year. Deciduous: it may arrive without leaves during its dormant season.

Its place in the garden

It is a fast-growing tree that can exceed 12 m when planted in the ground. Allow space for the crown and roots, away from buildings and underground utilities. The pot is a temporary growing stage and does not permanently limit its size.

Essential care

• Light: Full sun, outdoors.
• Watering: Water deeply while it is establishing, allowing the soil to aerate between waterings. When in a pot, check the moisture level more frequently.

Upon delivery, remove the packaging and check the moisture level. Gradually acclimatise it to its location; avoid fertilising or transplanting as a routine on the first day.
