Ulmus americana ‘Princeton’ – The Princeton Elm variety has proven to be one of the most resistant American Elms to Dutch Elm Disease. The graceful symmetrical branching and upright growth habit make Princeton a stately tree in the landscape and one of our “Tried & True” favorites.
GROWER’S NOTES:
Princeton is the easiest of the Elms to grow. It naturally puts on a good leader and grows with a “cookie cutter” quality. This is one of the vigorous growers in our nursery, and we turn them around rather quickly.
