AccoladeŽ Elm

The AccoladeŽ Elm, Ulmus 'Morton', has an excellent resistance to Dutch Elm disease. This tree has an upright, spreading shape. It is a fast growing tree that has dark green foliage in summer. It creates an excellent shade tree for larger yards or street plantings. Elms prefer full sun and adapt easily to extremes in pH, moisture, wind and heat.
