Growing murray's Chinese elm

Form and leaf. One grower's sheet describes branches that rise from near horizontal and open into a rounded crown, with leaves that are small, glossy, dark green and toothed, colouring bronze then yellow and dropping in late winter; with age its bark breaks into patches of brown, orange, green and grey. The other grower's page calls it upright and semi-deciduous, with glossy dark green leaves slightly larger than the species', turning yellow in autumn and holding on the branches until late winter.

Position and soil. The first sheet asks for sun and a soil that is moist but drains well, and says it copes with dry spells, compacted soil and short periods of wet ground. The second page's summary block gives sun or part shade and medium frost tolerance, and its description says it suits most soil conditions.

Flowering. Insignificant flowers in autumn, by the second page's description, though the same page's summary block gives spring.

Planting. The second page's tree-care notes, the same as on that grower's Burnley Select page, ask for the bud union to sit above soil level at planting; unlike the Burnley Select page, it does not call this form budded.

Using murray's Chinese elm

One grower's sheet suggests it for wide streets, for shade or as a feature in gardens of any size and in parks, and planted in groups to break the wind; the other grower's page lists larger gardens, parks and streets. None of the government or botanic garden references read holds an entry for Murray's Form, so what is set out here comes from two growers' sheets. The straight species is on the Chinese elm page, and Todd and Burnley Select are two of the other named selections with pages.

What to check before you buy

Growers list it as Murray's Form or Murrays Form, apart from the straight Chinese elm; treat the two spellings as one plant. The two growers agree on 10 m by 8 m but describe its branching differently, so ask which form the grower lists. The HortOS guide to specifying and procuring trees covers what a tree order names and the inspection at the nursery and at delivery. Stock moving between states travels under the state and territory biosecurity rules.

Victoria's Advisory list of environmental weeds (2022), a non-statutory advisory list, classes it as casual or ruderal in Victoria and rates it lower risk. (Advisory list of environmental weeds in Victoria 2022 (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Victoria))
