The American elm is a majestic deciduous tree renowned for its iconic vase-shaped habit and arching canopy. Reaching heights of 60 to 80 feet, it features dark green, doubly serrate leaves that transition to a soft yellow in autumn. This hardy native thrives in full sun and adaptable soil conditions, from moist bottomlands to urban environments. Historically prized as a premier street and shade tree, it provides vital wildlife habitat while offering a stately presence in large landscapes.
