  • Description

  • Notes

Tall, upright and arching, Allee Elm's growth habit is unique among U. parvifolia cultivars, being reminiscent of the grand American Elm, with an upright and arching habit. Grows 50 feet tall and 35 feet wide. Foliage is glossy green, with a yellow-orange to rust red fall color. Its exfoliating bark creates a mosaic of orange, tan and gray, a beautiful sight on a mature tree. Discovered by Dr. Michael Dirr of University of Georgia, Athens.
