I am interested in planting Japanese Zelkova in my yard as I feel it is the most appropriate match for what I am looking for. I want a fast growing tree that can live in SW Missouri USA, has no/low fruit cleanup, low health problems, and a good, tall shade tree. (I already have short fruit trees on the property for the wildlife - apple/crabapple/pear.)
The Japanese Zelkova seems to match my desires better than any other tree I have researched.
The problem is I cannot locate someone that sells these. Is there another name for these that I would have better luck with? Any links to websites that sell these? The ones I have found on Google search either are not in stock, outside the USA, or are Bonzi trees.
Thanks!
Edwin Davidson.
