American Elm

Ulmus americana

American Elm is a beloved native shade tree renowned for its graceful, arching vase-shaped form and broad, sweeping canopy that can span 60-80 feet at maturity. A fast grower well-adapted to a wide range of soils and conditions, it brings timeless elegance and generous summer shade to parks and large residential properties. Its serrated, dark green leaves turn a warm golden yellow in fall, providing a final burst of seasonal color before winter sets in.
