The Golden Wych Elm, Ulmus glabra Lutescens, is a medium-sized deciduous tree that grows to a height of approximately 15 metres with a spread of about 20 metres. In its first years, the tree is vase-shaped, but it spreads as it matures, forming a rounded canopy. In spring and summer its leaves are lime green, turning to yellow in autumn.
It is not known in North America, but is a commonly planted tree in parts of Australia and New Zealand.
