Ulmus americana 'Princeton'

Common Name: Princeton American Elm

Selected almost a century ago by New Jersey nurseryman William Flemer for its aesthetic merit. By stroke of good fortune, 'Princeton' has demonstrated moderate resistance to Dutch elm disease. Typical of this iconic American species in form and hardiness, it is an important part of the American experience, a relic selection from America's urban forest history, still adapted to its future so many generations later.
