| Common: | Princeton Elm |
| Plant Type: | 1 |
| Height/Width: | 75-100ftx60-100ft |

| Notes: | The American elm establishes itself with remarkable vigor. A healthy 3-4 foot sapling planted in favorable conditions can be expected to reach about 25-30 feet in 8-10 years, and perhaps 100 feet in 40 years, with a crown spread of 60-100 feet and an equally extensive root system. Trunk diameter should gain about half an inch each year, once a tree is established, and it is likely to reach 5 or 6 inches in 10 years, and perhaps 3 feet or more in 100 years. Healthy trees can live for hundreds of years. |
