Ulmaceae
Ulmus davidiana var. japonica ‘Accolade’ is a hardy and ornamental hybrid elm with an elegant vase-shaped habit and vigorous growth, particularly well-suited to Quebec's climatic conditions. Its shiny dark green foliage provides dense shade in summer, then turns a bright yellow in autumn, adding a vibrant and decorative seasonal touch. Selected for its superior resistance to Dutch elm disease, it is a reliable alternative for avenues, boulevards, or as a specimen tree. Tolerant of urban and well-drained soils, it easily integrates into residential or public landscape designs while contributing to local biodiversity with its early flowers and discreet fruits. ‘Accolade’ combines resilience, structural elegance, and ecological interest, making it ideal for sustainable shading projects and large-scale plantings.
