With its arching canopy of dark green, textured leaves that turn clear yellow in fall, and its deeply furrowed, dignified bark, the American Elm is a tree of extraordinary beauty and historical significance. Today, disease-resistant selections are bringing this beloved native back to the landscape, offering a chance to restore one of America’s most cherished trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eUlmus americana\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Elm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–80 ft with a broad, graceful vase-shaped canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–9 ft tall at time of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e #7 (7-gallon pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast — typically 3–6 ft per year under ideal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade; best growth and form in full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly adaptable; tolerates wet, dry, clay, sandy, and compacted soils; one of the most soil-tolerant large shade trees available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate once established; tolerates periodic flooding and drought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low — prune in late fall or winter to reduce disease risk; select disease-resistant cultivars for best long-term performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unmatched shade and street tree whose iconic vase shape creates a natural cathedral canopy over roads, walkways, and open spaces.
