'Globosa' differs from the species C. occidentalis by having a semi-open, round crown. It eventually grows into a small tree about 6-8 m tall. Like actually all Celtis, the tree grows somewhat erratically. This gives the tree a less static, more informal, character. The leaves are oblong ovoid, about 7-13 cm long and have long pointed tips. The leaves are glossy green and turn golden yellow in autumn before falling off. Flowering is inconspicuous but does attract bees. The round drupes are about 1 cm in size and vary in colour from brown-orange to black. Has few soil requirements, tolerates some drought and is somewhat sensitive to wind. It can be used in paving and tolerates air pollution. Globosa' is therefore also suitable for use in industrial areas. Hardiness zone 4
