Description

Grow one of North America's most iconic shade trees with American Elm Tree Seeds (Ulmus americana). Known for its graceful vase-shaped canopy, rapid growth, and impressive size, the American Elm has long been a favorite for streets, parks, and large landscapes. This hardy deciduous tree provides excellent shade, vibrant green foliage, and beautiful golden-yellow fall color.

American Elm trees can reach heights of 60 to 100 feet or more at maturity, making them an outstanding choice for large properties, restoration projects, and conservation plantings. They adapt well to a wide range of soil conditions and are valued for their strength, longevity, and environmental benefits.

These high-quality seeds offer a germination range of 70-90% under proper growing conditions. Unlike many tree species, American Elm seeds do not require any pre-treatment or stratification, making them easy to sow and establish.
