OTHER: Grows in a vase shape. Good city tree. Fibrous rooted and fast
growing. Resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Grows 60' to 80' tall. Flower and
fruits in the fall. Drought tolerant, but will tolerate moist sites. Can
be messy with lots of fruit falling and causing seedling growth. When receiving
a shipment, make sure it is not Ulmus pumila (which has a black, rounded
bud). Has become a tremendously popular landscape tree. Many cultivars of
this species have been released such as 'Drake', 'Frosty','True Green'. |
