Abstract

A new and distinct Zelkova serrata cultivar, named the ‘JSC Kingsthree’ Zelkova is characterized by its weeping branch structure, different fall leaf color, texture and curl of its leaves, and the manner in which sunlight passes through its pubescent petioles when the sun is low on the horizon, which makes the tree look as if it is covered with frost. The inventor is unaware of any other Zelkova serrata trees that exhibit any of these characteristics. The ‘JSC Kingsthree’ Zelkova is also characterized by its drought and cold tolerance.
