Disease-Resistant American Elm (Ulmus americana) retains the classic vase-shaped canopy and graceful arching branches that once lined countless American streets, while offering improved tolerance to Dutch elm disease. It is a fast-growing, adaptable shade tree suited to a wide range of sites. It blooms very early in spring, before its leaves emerge, and grows best in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil.
