EMERALD SUNSHINE ELM TREE 10gal

The Emerald Sunshine Elm is the solution for gardeners who want the classic, stately look of an Elm without the heartbreak of disease. This cultivar is exceptionally tough, standing up to heat, wind, and even the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease with ease. In Zones 7 and 8, it reaches a perfect mid-size height of 30 to 35 feet tall, providing a sturdy, vase-shaped canopy that turns a brilliant buttery yellow in the fall. Its thick, leathery leaves are naturally resistant to elm leaf beetles and are generally avoided by deer, making it a low-maintenance champion for your backyard.

For a thriving tree, plant it in full sun. When setting the root ball, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to help those young roots establish quickly in our local dirt. A consistent feeding of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food ensures your Elm stays vigorous and keeps its deep green luster all summer long.
