American Elm
American Elm
Fast Growing, Long Lived Tree The American Elm is a large deciduous tree. It would make an impressive street or shade tree for your front yard. The American Elm is the largest Elm in the United States. It can reach 130 feet in height and has an elegant vase shape with a broad, rounded crown. It’s fast-growing so you won’t have to wait as long as with some other trees for your shade tree to mature. The American Elm is also long-lived, with some reported being as old as 300 years. Think of the legacy you will provide for your children and grandchildren by planting an Elm in the yard! Your American Elm provides ornamental interest for every season The six inch deciduous leaves are ovate shaped with toothed edges, their dark green color a vibrant addition to the summer surroundings. Small green flowers form in spring, and although you’re not likely to notice them, the bees, butterflies and other pollinators of your yard certainly will. As the leaves begin to form, the flowers will turn from their subtle beauty to the Elm seed. Single, and surrounded by a flat, oval paper-like membrane, the seeds provide beneficial sustenance for birds and small mammals. In the fall, your American Elm’s foliage transforms to a pleasing yellow. Even in the coldest of seasons, when most trees provide little of interest, the dark grey and deeply furrowed bark of your Elm will present a pleasing feature for the winter landscape. The American Elm is a hardy tree tolerant of drought and urban conditions. It won’t cost you a lot of time or effort to maintain, and will provide many years of shade and beauty for your yard. * Fast-growing* Long-lived* Hardy

 Elm - Regal - Sale Price: $114.20
The Regal Elm, Ulmus 'Regal', has large dark-green glossy leaves. It has an upright character, transplants well, and will tolerate a wide range of conditions. 'Regal' Elm develops a strong central leader with an upright or columnar growth habit when young, becoming more ovate with age. Its leaves are dark green in summer, and show no appreciable fall coloration. Because the leaves are rather sparsely borne, they cast a honeylocust-like light shade that makes possible the successful culture of turf grass in the vicinity of the tree. Considered highly resistant to DED and verticillium wilt, this Elm is also a good urban tree since it is highly resistant to Dutch elm disease. It has proved very tolerant of hot and arid conditions, exhibiting minimal leaf scorch. 'Regal' has an upright columnar form similar to 'Commelin', making it particularly suitable for street planting. * Upright, columnar * Resistant to Dutch elm disease * Street tree |
|  Nuttall Oak - Sale Price: $85.65
The Nuttall Oak tree, Quercus nuttallii, was not distinguished as a species until 1927. It is also called red oak, Red River oak, and pin oak. It is one of the few commercially important species found on poorly drained clay flats and low bottoms of the Gulf Coastal Plain and north in the Mississippi and Red River Valleys. The acorn or winter buds identify Nuttall oak, easily confused with pin oak (Q. palustris). The lumber is often cut and sold as red oak. In addition to producing timber, Nuttall oak is an important species for wildlife management because of heavy annual mast production. Nuttall Oak trees are a good choice for low poorly drained locations. During winter, squirrels find a ready supply of acorns, since many acorns remain on the tree into January. Acorns are favored by deer and also eaten by turkeys. |
