Celtis bungeana – Celtis bungeana

View prices and availability
The medium to large Celtis bungeana forms a round crown. Later in life, the crown will sag more, becoming more flattened and broadly vase-shaped. The young twigs are green, the old bark is light grey and smooth. Most striking about this species are the shiny dark green leaves, which give the tree a vital appearance. The leaves have three main veins, which are most clearly visible on the underside of the leaf. The leaf margin is smooth, at most with a few small teeth near the apex. Flowering is inconspicuous, but does attract bees. The flowers are followed by small black fruits.
This Celtis prefers to grow on loamy soil. Tolerates drought and air pollution, making it a good future tree.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
