Discover the versatile beauty of Ulmus alata, commonly known as Winged Elm. This resilient, North American native tree thrives in a variety of environments, from moist lowlands to dry, rocky uplands. An adaptable and fast-growing species, it typically reaches heights of 30-50 feet, with some specimens soaring up to 90 feet in the wild. Renowned for its unique, corky, wing-like projections on its twigs and branches, Winged Elm boasts a range of crown shapes, from pyramidal to rounded.

Ideal for urban planting, this elm flourishes in well-drained soils under full sun, though it tolerates light shade and urban conditions. Its ovate, rough-textured leaves are a striking dark green, turning to a subdued yellowish-green in fall, while its small, brownish-green flowers bloom before leaf emergence, leading to wafer-like samaras maturing in spring.

Despite its adaptability, it's important to manage its susceptibility to diseases like Dutch elm disease and phloem necrosis, with regular pruning to maintain a strong structure. Suitable for use as a shade or street tree, Winged Elm is perfect for those seeking a distinctive addition to their landscape, with its iconic winged branches enhancing any outdoor space.
