Tree Care

When planting this species in a garden‚ it is suggested that it is sown in moist‚ well-drained soils and a full sun but can tolerate partial shade․ The hole dug to plant the tree should be twice the width and depth of rootball enough for the root․

Native to North America‚ it is also known as the American elm․ It is the official state tree of Massachusetts‚ as well as North Dakota‚ United States since 1947․

Life expectancy

Its alternate leaves are oblong-oval‚ dark green‚ leathery‚ deeply grooved‚ stiff‚ closely packed‚ acute‚ and double serrate along the margins․

Another advantage of the tree is that it grows well in varying soils‚ moisture‚ and climatic conditions․ It prefers a rich loam with a little clay and sand‚ and tolerates slight moisture levels‚ as well as moderately poorly drained conditions․

Plant bare-root stock as soon as it arrives, in well-drained soil with full to partial sun unless noted otherwise above. Water deeply once a week during the first growing season to establish a strong root system.
