5 American Elm Tree 12in Ulmus americana Bare Root

American Elm (Ulmus americana) is a stately deciduous shade tree prized for its graceful vase-shaped canopy, arching branches, and serrated green foliage that turns golden yellow in autumn. A classic North American native, it makes a bold long-term landscape specimen for large yards, parks, and avenues.

These bare root saplings arrive at roughly 12 inches tall, ready to establish in a sunny site with well-drained soil. American Elm works well as a shade or street tree and pairs nicely with other native plantings in broad landscape settings. Plant in spring or fall while dormant.
