'Green Vase' Zelkova vs. Wildfire Black Gum

[ToeJoe]

Since I had 2 Wildfire Black Gum trees that did not make it I thought I would try a 'Green Vase' Zelkova tree comparing the two trees which one would you say is the nicest of the two?

I love the Wildfire Black Gum and am not sure what went wrong with the two all I can say is the leaves started to turn brown on the second on shortly after I had it planted not do to the leak of water for I watered it weekly. The first one came out in buds but never broke bud.

What I read about the 'Green Vase' Zelkova it also has a nice root system that does not cause any damage and the Fall color is fantastic just as nice as the Wildfire Black Gum.

I am not sure if the 'Green Vase' Zelkova has a Tip root.

Does anyone have one of each or both of them and if so can you give the Postive and Negative of your experience with them?

You will see my posting on the Black Gum tree that I posted earlier.
