Why
the American Liberty Elm?
One
of the hallmarks of American cities and towns used to be the beautiful
trees that lined their streets and town squares. Their arching
branches were so large that they met overhead and their shade
cooled the ground beneath them. Most often, these trees were American
Elms. Our
parents and grandparents can still remember the cool cathedral-like
spaces that made city streets welcoming especially in summer.
But those days were long ago. It is the hope of this site that
you will take one small step toward restoring those canopy-covered
lanes for future generations.
If
you are looking for something unusual, a gift that the
recipient will cherish and remember the giver, then consider giving
an American Liberty Elm. Unlike cut flowers, the beauty of your
tree will endure long beyond the occasion.
The
trees that we are offering are purebred descendants of American
elm parent trees that were able to resist Dutch elm disease. They
are street-tested for over eighteen years and come with a lifetime
warranty against Dutch elm disease. These trees are not European
or Asian hybrids and they retain the classic vase-like shape of
their predecessors. The spreading fullness of the mature American
elm has earned it the nickname "flower of shade trees."
The American Liberty Elm has also demonstrated remarkable growth,
putting on an average of two to three feet per growing season.
As a true American elm, they can be expected to reach 100 feet
or more at maturity. Order
