Celtis sinensis is a fast-growing, deciduous shade tree with deep, glossy green leaves during the summer, changing to vibrant pale yellow or gold in fall. It has a decurrent/deliquescent growth habit, where the main trunk divides into multiple secondary branches to form a broad canopy, rather than an excurrent (conical/pyramidal) growth habit with a single leader. It is an excellent large shade tree with high canopy density. It can handle strong winds and can be massed for large windbreaks. It thrives in full sun; can handle partial shade but will have a less dense canopy. Moderate water use; drought-resistant once established. Highly adaptable to many soil types, including acidic, neutral, and alkaline (clay, sand, or loam), but needs good drainage. Tolerant of urban pollution. Deer-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 0°F.
