You have elms!!!??


I've planted two that are doing well, although the larger I let the crown
grow into a 3-way divide, and it had to be cabled. It's over 20 years in
ground here and a good sized tree. They're lovely trees and fast
growers, so far no sign of Dutch Elm disease.

They were both sold (from different sources) with the name Ulmus resista,
I assume that's not a legitimate name... but I have heard from various
plantsmen that there are a few resistant cultivars around now.
