| Description | A WATER THRIFTY shade tree with large dark green leaves that turn a rusty-red tint in fall. Branches are slightly arching, with a finer textured appearance than most elms.

Prefers full sun and adapts easily to extremes in soil pH, moisture, heat and wind tolerance. A good tough tree for difficult conditions. Cold hardy to -30°F Maximum Elevation: 6,000 ft. |
