| Is there a difference between Ulmus Pumila, Ulmus Parvifolia, and Ulmus Parvifolia Drake? They all seem to be the same. Is one a male and or female. Which one, if different would be better in zone 9 and cleaner. Full sun, clay ground, fast groing shade tree. Thanks |

| I have 4 Giant Siberian elms in my yard~Ulmus Pumila. They are all over 100 years old. Huge trees. For your zone Go with the Chinese Elm, Drake!~Ulmus Parvifolia Drake. It is more fit to your area. There barks are differentas well as there Leaves and there size are different. Drake is also less invasive as well. Ulmus Parvifolia can be used as Bonzi trees. Google each name to get a better understanding of each tree. Hope this helps. |

| Not sure where you're at, tj, but around here, Siberians get very large, but look like crap throughout the growing season, as there seems to always be at least as much dead branches and twigs as live. The Chinese, aka, Lacebark elm, is not quite hardy here, but I am led to believe, a much more worthy tree where it can be grown. +oM |
