Zelkova serrata 'Green Vase'
Choose Green Vase Zelkova if you want a large, upright shade tree with elm-like structure and a clean vase form. The tradeoff: it needs real canopy and root space, so it is not for tight yards or overhead wires.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives a strong upright shade-tree shape and attractive bark without looking too heavy. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It establishes into a dependable shade tree at a useful pace when planted with enough space. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It is generally straightforward once established, though young trees still benefit from structural pruning. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | This is a large shade tree and becomes the wrong plant quickly in tight residential spaces. |
| Screening Value | C | It provides overhead shade, but it is not a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Green Vase Zelkova for open lawn or street-side sites where the customer wants shade structure, not a small ornamental tree.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
