American Elm 'New Horizon'

(Ulmus 'New Horizon') A large-growing elm that's highly resistant to the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease; this vigorous shade tree is upright in habit and very tolerant of adverse conditions, retains a dense crown through old age. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution, will even thrive in inner city environments, and can tolerate salt. Similarly to most elms, this is a fast growing tree and will need to be pruned in the winters (after the first year).                                                                             Height and width at maturity: 60’ x 40’ Sun or shade: full sun Soil conditions: wide range Moisture tolerance: adaptable Fall color: yellow Climate resilience (ability to withstand changing temperatures and precipitation patterns associated with climate change): moderate Ash replacement? Yes! Plant on the east or west side of your home for maximum energy benefit. For more information, visit Bachman's Plant Database.     Photo credits: Bailey Nurseries, NetPS PlantFin
