Ulmus crassifolia - Cedar Elm

Market price from $11.25 to $33.50

Ulmus crassifolia is more commonly acclaimed as the Cedar Elm, a regal tree species that elegantly punctuates landscaping designs with its imposing stature, reaching soaring heights of 50-70 feet. Native to the southern climes of North America, this resilient deciduous tree is famed for its adaptability, combining drought tolerance with the ability to thrive in diverse soil types. Casting a broad canopy of glossy, small and ovate leaves, the Cedar Elm unfurls a captivating display of greenery that transforms into vibrant hues of gold during the autumn season. Boldly enduring the sun's full glare, the tree's charisma is further elevated by its textured bark's appeal, contributing robust rustic vibes to any setting. An annual display of small samara fruit accentuates its year-round interest, making it an excellent addition to parks, gardens, or streetscapes. Its low water usage and attractive autumn coloration enhance the Cedar Elm's reputation as a practical yet visually stunning choice for a variety of landscaping projects.
