I especially like the foliage on the dwarf hybrid elm. It's almost fern like. I have two full size Cedar elm trees in my yard and I didn't know a dwarf elm existed, but what a nice shrub it makes.

In trying to think of anything 'dwarf' in my yard the only thing I can come up with is what was sold as 'Dwarf' Barbados cherry. There seems to be some confusion between whether there is truly a dwarf or if the shrubs grow differently in various situations. There is also a tree form so in relation to the tree, the shrub is a dwarf, but whatever I want to mention it because it is such a wonderful evergreen, drought tolerant shrub that blooms and produces edible, but rather bland tasting fruit which the birds love.

I have five plants from three to six ft tall growing in part sun to part shade. Here's a photo taken in 2015 of the blooms ...

I recently discovered several Barbados cherry shrubs in a field across the street from my home which used to be someones back yard. The houses were removed in the mid 90s after a nearby 'dry' creek flooded. The shrubs are thickly foliaged while growing in full shade beneath several ligustrum trees and never watered! What a versatile plant. It's speed of growth is medium, but worth the wait.

I'll be interested in what dwarf plants others on here may want to introduce.

The Jacqueline hillier , like all elms I know of, strikes really easily from cuttings and even grows from root cuttings. Your welcome to one when I do a batch if you want it. I got mine mail order haven't seen it around here. I also have a few 'seiju' dwarf Chinese elms that are really neat

Dwarf Walters viburnum

Dwarf bottlebrush Little John

Finger lime

Dwarf Singapore pink plumie

Dwarf crape myrtle Violet Fili, plant in back is agapanthus, for reference

Here's a better picture of the cedar

Lust! I covet my neighbor's plant.

Thanks it is one of my favorites , mines only grown about 4 inches a year which is a lot slower than the regular blue atlas cedar. I've grafted deodara cedars before I might buy some seedlings and graft some of these in which case you can have one. Deodar is better in our san Antonio climate. There are a couple nice ones around san Pedro springs . I think the best true cedar here would be brevifolia , and I just got a baby one yesterday .

This is my new libani var. brevifolia. Aka cyprus cedar.
