These true American elms are nothing but grace and beauty with their upright
vase-shaped growth habit. The shape of this tree is very fluid as it matures. (See picture stages above.) It grows quickly at 4 to 6 feet per year.
The foliage features large leathery dark green in summer and a beautiful yellow in fall; great variation in intensity of fall coloration. This tree has proven resistant to Dutch elm disease and is easily planted anywhere as the root system is very fibrous and shallow.
