Homestead Elm is a vigorous, disease-resistant hybrid that revives the classic elm form for modern landscapes. Its upright, vase-shaped canopy of dark green leaves casts generous shade and turns golden yellow in fall. Bred for strong resistance to Dutch elm disease, it grows quickly into a stately street or lawn tree. Plant it in full sun, where it adapts to a wide range of soils and urban conditions. Tough and reliable, it delivers the grandeur of an American elm with modern resilience. For fast, classic shade, Homestead is an excellent choice.
