Tree Growth

Elm Trees in the Landscape

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․

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Bare Root Plants
Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
