Patriot Elm Tree

There are excellent street trees and then there's Patriot Elm Tree (Ulmus x 'Patriot'). With fantastic foliage, desirable disease resistance, and tolerance of just about any growing conditions you have, this tree is the whole package!

This deciduous tree is tough! It was bred specifically to be pest and disease-tolerant while maintaining the utmost eye appeal. Each spring, its densely branched crown fills in with glossy mid-green foliage. As the days become brisk, you'll be delighted when this tree turns a bright yellow. Perfectly complementing the Red Maples and Evergreens nearby.

Waiting for growth is sometimes the hardest part about planting new trees! We're happy to say this Elm hybrid grows quite fast so you'll have a grand-looking tree in no time! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 9, these are fantastic trees that mature into a vase-shaped slim form.

Landscape Application:

Use it as a lawn specimen tree in your front yard or along the road as a street tree! Urban air pollution isn't a problem for Patriot in the slightest. They aren't bothered by salt either so those in colder climates won't have to worry when they're salting the roadways.

Try planting a Patriot in place of other Elm trees, where the once great Elm tree boulevard once graced American streets but was almost wiped out by a disease. However, Patriot is completely Dutch Elm Disease-Resistant! These Elms are also resistant to Elm Leaf Beetles.

Fantastic shade trees, these fast-growing focal points are ideal for broad spreading cooling shade, that is perfect for a reading nook, seating area, or shading your home and reducing cooling costs. Your local bird populations will adore these trees as shelter!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Elm Trees prefer average well-drained soils with full sun access but are especially in urban environments and pollution. Elms are drought-resistant once established and do best with an application of 3-4 inches of layer of mulch around the entire root system to support their growth. Prune young trees to correct growth and remove winter dieback in the late winter or very early spring.

• Full Sun
• Any Well-Drained - Tolerates Poor Soil & Salt
• Moderate Moisture - Drought Tolerant Once Established
• Prune Late Winter
• Highly Pollution Tolerant
