Elm, "Princeton" American (Ulmus americana)     (back to top)

A dense symmetrical upright Elm has dark green foliage which turns yellow in the fall. One of the best American Dutch Elms for resisting the attack of Dutch Elm Disease.  Developed by Princeton Nurseries in 1922 and planted in Princeton, NJ in the 1930s.  Height of 75-90 feet and width of 50-60 feet.  Princeton elms are grown from cuttings off of trees descended from the original Princeton elm first selected in 1920 for its classic American elm attributes. They are produced on their own root. No variety of American elm is totally immune to Dutch Elm Disease. However, this elm has proven tolerant to the fungus (Ophiostoma ulmi). In other words, even though the fungus may infect a Princeton elm, the tree has the ability to tolerate and repel the fungus without actually succumbing to the deadly disease.
