Ulmus americana

Tree: Elm

Stately, fast growing, hardy tree with a spreading, vase-shaped canopy. Dense, saw-toothed, dark green foliage turns yellow-golden in fall. Excellent shade tree for large areas such as parks. Very adaptable and tolerant of most urban pollution, and once established, dry conditions and some standing water. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. To prevent Dutch Elm disease, pruning Elm, including dead or dying branches, is prohibited from April 1 to September 30 (peak beetle activity occurs at this time) and should be done late winter/early spring.

Available in select potted sizes.
