Ulmus americana
The American Elm (Ulmus americana) is a large, deciduous tree native to eastern and central North America, known for its graceful, vase-shaped canopy and fast growth. Growing 60-80 feet tall, it features large, serrated, dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall. The tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers in early spring, followed by winged seeds. Once a popular choice for urban streets and landscapes due to its shade and aesthetic appeal, the American Elm has faced challenges from Dutch elm disease. Despite this, it remains valued for its beauty, resilience in moist soils, and ability to provide large-scale shade.
