Plant Description: This large deciduous tree has a tidy vase shape that makes for a reliable and versatile shade tree. A good street tree whose upright ascending branches resemble the iconic American Elm and provide easy clearance for vehicles. Dark green, narrow, toothed leaves turn bronze red in the fall. Narrow branch structure may require some corrective pruning to avoid crowding, weak joints, and other problems. Requires very little water once established. Tolerates urban pollution and suffers few diseases.
