Cedar Elm

Ulmus crassifolia


Cedar Elm is a quintessential Texas shade tree. It is fast-growing, tough, and deeply adapted to the heat, drought, and heavy clay soils that challenge so many other species. Growing 50-70 feet tall with a graceful, arching crown, it provides generous, dependable shade through the long Texas summer while its small, textured leaves turn a clean, buttery yellow in fall. One of the most versatile and reliable trees available for urban landscapes, parking areas, and residential plantings across the region, Cedar Elm is a cornerstone of Texas landscaping.
