Why it rocks:
Selected and tested by the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL, Accolade® Elm is one of the new Dutch Elm Disease-resistant trees that has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Accolade® Elm brings back the classic arching look of the American Elm tree. Many of us remember the stately Elm-lined streets of the past and this tree brings back that elegance while offering the disease resistance that will provide a healthy tree for generations to come. Accolade® Elm is an extremely tough, fast-growing tree that has a distinctly native look and feel. This tree is sure to satisfy and reminds us all why nearly every town in America has an Elm Street.
Where to put it:
Because of its large mature height and spread, Accolade® Elm is best in open areas of the yard. This tree is particularly well suited for parkways because of its durability and high ground clearance.
What it needs:
Accolade® Elms are vigorous and adaptable; they can grow in almost any condition.
