Hybrid Elm

A number of elms are available that are resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED). Several of these selections are also resistant to other elm disease and pest problems. Not all of these trees have the characteristic
vase branching structure shape of the American Elm, but some come close. Most grow to a height over 50’ and are adaptable to a wide variety of growing conditions. Selecting a DED resistant species is a good choice of a fast growing shade tree.
