Princeton American Elm

Princeton American Elm

Ulmus Americana 'Princeton'

American Elm native to all of Indiana and virtually half

 of all the Eastern US. American Elm was a dominant 

and majestic tree now virtually extinct in the wild 

due to Dutch Elm Disease. Princeton has high resistance

 to the disease. Upright growth doesn't spread until

 it is high and avoids branching against 

buildings, people, and cars. Perfect street tree!
