Common nameAmerican Elm 'Princeton'
FamilyUlmaceae
TypeTREE
Botanical nameUlmus americana Princeton

Ulmus americana 'Princeton' is a remarkable selection of American elm, developed for its high resistance to Dutch elm disease. It exhibits a typical and majestic vase shape, with a broad, symmetrical arched crown, ideal for streets, parks, or large-scale landscape designs. Its medium to dark green foliage, rough to the touch, turns golden yellow in the fall, extending its seasonal appeal. Very vigorous and fast-growing, 'Princeton' toler tolerates pollution, formative pruning, de-icing salt, and various types of well-drained soils. It combines the classic elegance of historical elms with improved tolerance to modern stresses, for durable and shade-providing plantings.
