The Valley Forge American Elm (Ulmus americana 'Valley Forge') is a deciduous tree renowned for its resilience and adaptability. It is a cultivar of the American Elm, which is a native tree species in North America. The Valley Forge American Elm typically grows to a height of 50 to 80 feet with a spread of 40 to 70 feet. It has a classic, vase-shaped crown that provides ample shade and adds a touch of elegance to any landscape. The leaves are dark green, ovate in shape, and have serrated edges, turning golden yellow in the fall before dropping. In early spring, the tree produces inconspicuous flowers that give way to small, rounded samaras, which are winged seeds that disperse in the wind. One of the notable features of the Valley Forge American Elm is its remarkable resistance to Dutch elm disease, a devastating fungal disease that has affected many American Elm trees. This cultivar has demonstrated excellent tolerance to the disease and has become a popular choice for planting in areas prone to the infection. The Valley Forge American Elm thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including clay and sandy soils. This tree is well-suited for urban and suburban landscapes, parks, and streetscapes, as it is known for its durability, longevity, and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. It provides not only shade and beauty but also serves as a habitat and food source for birds and other wildlife.
