The American Elm is a majestic tree known for its graceful, arching branches and dense canopy. This species, scientifically classified as Ulmus americana, is a staple in many landscapes due to its adaptability and resilience.
With a potential height of 60 to 100 feet and a spread of 40 to 70 feet, the American Elm provides ample shade, making it a favored choice for parks and large residential properties. Its deciduous leaves are dark green and serrated, turning a vibrant yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape.
One of the notable characteristics of the American Elm is its tolerance to various soil conditions, including clay and loam, as well as its ability to withstand urban pollution. This makes it an excellent choice for both urban and suburban settings.
The tree's bark is deeply furrowed and adds texture to the landscape, while its strong, flexible branches are less prone to breakage during storms compared to other species. Additionally, the American Elm is known for its rapid growth rate, allowing it to establish itself quickly in new environments.
Whether used as a specimen tree or in a row for a stunning avenue effect, the American Elm enhances the beauty and functionality of any outdoor space.
