elm

Overview

Elm (Ulmus 'New Horizon') is a deciduous tree growing up to 15 metres tall. It has a unique, upright form which is commonly been used in parks and public gardens since its introduction in 1988. Its bark is grey-brown with attractive corky ridges along the branches. The dark green foliage turns yellow and light pink in autumn as temperatures drop. The waxy, dark green leaves are strong and resistant to most diseases and pests, providing an attractive specimen for the garden. It grows best in a moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or partly shady location. Its graceful form makes a picturesque sight when planted in a row on either side of a driveway or path.
