Jefferson Elm
Jefferson Elm
Ulmus americana 'Jefferson'
Help restore the elm tradition by planting this Dutch Elm Disease-resistant tree in your yard. Jefferson has a vase shaped canopy typical of an American elm and has vibrant gold fall color. Jefferson was selected from a disease resistant tree on the National Mall in DC! Jefferson has a moderate growth rate, making it a little less maintenance intensive than some other elms. Do your part to improve water quality and reduce energy needs by planting this fast grower on the west or east side of your home. Remember to prune early and often to ensure proper structure for this fast grower.
