Additional Notes about Patriot Elm:


Selected from over 600 hybrids, Ulmus 'Patriot' has a complicated parentage including at least 4 contributors. Initially selected for its tolerance of Dutch elm disease, it was later found to show high tolerance of elm leaf beetle. Pollution- and salt-tolerant too!

Fast-growing, it needs lots of room.
