Ulmus americana 'Princeton'
Common Name: Princeton American Elm
Princeton American elm develops the upright, vase-shaped outline associated with traditional elm-lined streets. Dark green summer leaves and yellow autumn foliage accompany a cultivar with a long record of Dutch elm disease tolerance.
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.
