[@carpediem5984]

Luxurious trees and a reportage. Thanks a lot.

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Many thanks!

I wish more people weren't so phobic of big trees in urban areas. We need more streets like this!

[@theeamericanrepublic]

I agree, the more nature in our cities the better

[@bigg368]

Nice, that street looks like it's in Culver City.

[@staceylam762]

How far should I plant them apart if I want 2 in my backyard? Also how far from structure? And should I install root barriers so they won’t crack foundation of my garage and house and shed?

[@theeamericanrepublic]

The pieces of bark looks like it would have that potato chip crunch lol

[@AzPoorBoys]

I need to know what street this is! Beautiful.

[@carpediem5984]

It's next to Syd Kronenthal Park. It is a 6 acre park located in the East Culver City neighborhood.

Thanks for all the information, one question, how tall and how wide?

[@staceylam762]

Which is more root incasive , Brisbane box or Chinese elm? And which is more fast growing?

[@reddoor1553]

Thank you so much for this video! I love these trees...are they the same tree as Ulmus parvifolia? I am planning to plant multiple of these and want to be sure I'm getting the right tree!

[@ScaryHairyGary]

yes

[@bigg368]

I like those trees. They planted them along Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. I prefer ficus benjaminas. They make gorgeous massive street trees with lots of shade.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

.....and if all those terrific qualities aren’t enough.......it’s a popular plant to bonsai.

[@jpnelson92]

Wow, those are much bigger than they get here. They are not evergreen in my zone but maybe near the Gulf of Mexico. They would be good in parking lots to create shade

[@Salmagundiii]

Trust me there are some big Ulmus parviflora in Georgia. That's where Dirr selected cultivars like "Emer II". I found one at the GA Big trees list that is 91 ft. tall.

[@raided5108]

Where can I buy a tree like this? I live in Richmond and I’m also a big fan of yours.

[@ScaryHairyGary]

We don't have them but I bet my buddy Mike at East Bay Nursery in Berkeley will.

[@ericalbright8797]

Very cool tree I just wish it wasn’t in my backyard. Tons of cleanup

[@brownbear992]

Is this the same thing as a Chinese elm?

[@ScaryHairyGary]

yes
