While most lacebark elm tree varieties grow very wide, Everclear is a relatively fast-growing tree that reaches 40 ft. tall and only 20 ft. wide, making it a fine choice for smaller landscape spaces. Its ascending branches grow at an upright angle, making it a perfect choice for lining a street or driveway, or for framing an entrance or the corners of tall homes and other buildings. It features a dense canopy of deep green, serrated, oval-elliptic leaves that turn yellow in the fall, making it ideal for providing some shade around patios and other outdoor sitting and living spaces. With age, its gray bark peels to display green and orange underbark, providing a unique texture and color, hence "lacebark" in the name. Exceptionally easy to grow, it thrives in average to poor soils and is highly drought-tolerant when established, also tolerating occasionally wet soil. It responds well to trimming for a more formal shape if desired.
