This Variety is an Improved Classic
Classic Americana is just a click away with our Princeton Elm Tree. And this variety is an improvement on the Elm you remember, since it’s more resistant to the diseases and pests that plague other types.
That means you’ll be planting a tree that stays healthy, without constant upkeep like spraying or even watering. The native Princeton Elm loves to grow, and it’s extremely tolerant of a variety of conditions, from wind to salt and drought or cold.
Plant the sturdy Princeton near your home to provide cost-cutting shade or create the perfect area for picnics. Because it grows 3 to 6 feet each year once established, you’ll have a timeless, all-American look in no time. Especially since our Princeton Elm arrives with the benefits of well-developed, healthy roots.
We plant and grow each Princeton meticulously, months ahead of time, so that you get better results. You get disease resistance, strong and hardy perks, and stunning looks, all without effort. Order your own Princeton today, before they sell out!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: For best results, choose an area with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) for your Princeton Elm. Once you’ve selected your location, dig a hole that’s about 2 or 3 times the width of the tree’s root ball. Place your tree, back fill the soil and water to settle the roots. Finally, add 2 to 3 inches of mulch around the base of the Princeton to preserve moisture.2. Watering: When your tree is young, water it weekly for best results. But if it rains, you don't need to water your Princeton Elm at all. And after a couple years, you only need to water the tree during very dry spells. But if you’re not sure when to water, check the surrounding soil, about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is excessively dry in this area, it’s time to water.
3. Fertilizing: After the first year, add a balanced fertilizer to the soil each spring. Be sure to follow the label instructions carefully. As your Princeton ages, fertilizing is unnecessary.
4. Pruning: You don't need to prune your Princeton Elm Tree, but it can be helpful to remove dead bark and branches during the fall season.

Princeton elm#2
This tree arrived beautifully packaged and healthy in appearance, much like its predecessor from your nursery. That elm grew 15 feet this past year. I am happy to receive another outstanding tree form Brighter Blooms. Jed Morris
Amazingly beautiful American elm with a host of great qualities.
I planted this good looking, young tree about a year ago. It settled in and started growing within weeks. The elm leaves were large and a deep green. No significant problems emerged such as infestations.. Upon arrival the tree was about 5 feet tall.with the length of limbs added. From late spring to now the tree has grown rapidly, without problems., Three major trunks and three accessory trunks emerged to form a perfect wine glass shape. Measuring the best I can ,I would say that it is now, 6months later, around fifteen feet tall and just now has some arching curvature at the distal end of the trunks. I am amazed and feel blessed.
