Sometimes there’s a plant that just brightens up your day when you look at it, and here in Oregon where the spring has been cold and rainy, I have loved the little Ulmus hollandica ‘Wredei’. It is not Dutch Elm resistant so you folks where that is a problem can just go on to something else, but this jewel is a zone 5 plant that is dwarf and columnar–both hot commodities right now and chartreuse yellow–cute as a bug’s ear is what it is.
