Elm, Princeton

This is the Princeton Elm, or Ulmus americana 'Princeton'. This is a deciduous tree known for its dense, symmetrical upright form and dark green foliage. It typically reaches a mature height of 60 to 80 feet with a spread of 40 to 60 feet, making it both a shade provider and a visually striking presence. Its hardiness sets it apart from other elms, making it an ideal choice for planting along streets, sidewalks, and in urban settings. In the summer, it offers abundant shade, and come fall, its leaves transition to a bright yellow, adding seasonal color. The Princeton Elm is a resilient and beautiful option for both functional and ornamental landscape use.
