Princeton American Elm is the ultimate in shade trees. This fast-growing, iconic tree has an upright, vase-shape with great resistance to Dutch Elm disease. It has leathery dark green foliage. In the fall, the large serrated pointy leaves turn a beautiful golden-yellow. 'Princeton' is a majestic and long living shade tree that would make a great addition to any landscape.
It is an amazingly adaptable plant, tolerating both dry conditions and even some standing water (very short period of time). It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.
