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!

Zelkova serrata 'Schmidtlow'
Choose Wireless® Zelkova when you need a broad shade tree that stays lower than many canopy trees; the tradeoff is width, so it needs room to spread.
Buy This If
- You want wide, spreading shade.
- You have overhead wire concerns.
- You like peeling bark and red fall color.
Skip This If
- You need a narrow upright tree.
- You want evergreen screening.
- Deer browsing is a major issue.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Its wide vase shape, peeling bark, and red fall color give it strong presence without becoming a towering shade tree. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady moderate pace, so it is not instant shade but also not painfully slow. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It is generally trouble-free, though young trees should be trained for good branch structure. |
| 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 | C | It can work near overhead wires, but its broad canopy makes it a poor fit for narrow spaces. |
| Screening Value | D | As a deciduous shade tree, it gives canopy cover but not dependable privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Wireless® Zelkova for wide lawn or street-side spots where customers want shade but need to be careful around overhead lines.

Customers Usually Ask
Is this a good street tree?
Yes, if the planting area is wide enough for the canopy to spread.
Does it replace a maple?
It can, especially if you want red fall color without planting another maple.
Will it screen my neighbor?
Not well; use an evergreen or denser branching plant for privacy.
