American Elm

Latin Name: Ulmus americana

The American Elm is a fast-growing, stately tree renowned for its graceful, umbrella-shaped canopy and striking furrowed bark. Its lush, deeply veined foliage features saw-toothed edges and a rich dark green hue, transforming into vibrant golden-yellow in autumn. A resilient urban tree, it adapts well to pollution and becomes drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for city landscapes and spacious yards. To maintain its iconic form, prune only between October and March to prevent Dutch elm disease. This majestic tree provides ample shade and serves as a focal point in parks, streets, and large gardens. With its elegant arching branches and hardy nature, the American Elm is a timeless addition to any landscape, offering beauty and durability for generations.
