1 Live Plant Slippery Elm Tree Ulmus rubra 4 Inch Tall 1 Year Old Starter

Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) is a hardy North American shade tree prized for its broad, rough-textured leaves and graceful, vase-shaped canopy that turns golden in autumn. This 4-inch-tall, one-year-old starter arrives bare root, ready to establish in the landscape or grow on in a container.

A long-lived native tree, slippery elm works well as a specimen, shade tree, or wildlife planting along property edges and open yards. It adapts to a range of soils and, once settled, puts on steady seasonal growth. Plant in full sun to partial shade for best development.
