Ulmus americana New Harmony
Common Name: New Harmony Elm
New Harmony American elm produces arching branches and a large vase-shaped crown. Vigorous growth, yellow autumn foliage, and strong Dutch elm disease tolerance distinguish this landscape selection.
The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes yellow. The grower reports tolerance of Dutch elm disease.
Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and allow enough room for the developing crown.
