Allee Elm Tree

The Allee Elm (Ulmus parvifolia 'Allee') represents a premier choice for landscape architects and property managers seeking disease-resistant shade solutions. This deciduous cultivar, derived from Asian species, develops a distinctive vase-shaped canopy reaching 50-60 feet in height with a 35-40 foot spread. The exfoliating bark provides architectural interest year-round, while dense dark green foliage shifts to warm golden tones at season's end. Engineered for durability, this variety demonstrates outstanding resistance to Dutch elm disease and performs exceptionally well in urban settings. Once established, it tolerates drought stress and thrives in full sun exposures across USDA hardiness zones 4-9, making it equally suited for street tree applications or expansive shade canopies.
