'Frontier' elm

The 'Frontier' elm is a hardy shade tree prized for its resilience and fall color. It can tolerate poor soil and is resistant to Dutch elm disease. When young, it tends to maintain a narrow, pyramid-like shape, but once mature it often spreads out and can be as wide as it is tall. Its showy display of purple-hued red leaves in the fall stands out among canopies of red and orange. This tree is a moderate water user and is not as drought-tolerant as other species of elm, but it is a great choice for lawns and other moist environments.
