Discover the timeless elegance of Ulmus americana 'Princeton,' a standout selection of the American elm featuring remarkable resistance to Dutch elm disease. This majestic, medium to large deciduous tree showcases a graceful, vase-shaped form, reaching heights of 50-70 feet with a 30-50 foot spread. Originally developed in 1922 by Princeton Nurseries, 'Princeton' thrives in Zones 4 to 9, adapting effortlessly to urban environments. Its dense, symmetrical canopy provides ample shade, making it an excellent choice for lawns, streets, and rain gardens.

Admire its lush, dark green foliage, turning a subtle yellow in fall, and appreciate its resilience against drought, black walnut, and air pollution. While regular maintenance, including pruning and spraying, is advised due to threats like Dutch elm disease and other pests, 'Princeton' stands out for its proven longevity and scientific record of disease resistance. This American classic continues to adorn landscapes with its massive scaffold branches, enduring charm, and versatile nature, making it a preferred choice for urban and suburban settings alike.
