Why Prairie Expedition® Elm Trees
The Prairie Expedition ® Elm Tree, also known as the Lewis and Clark Elm, is an excellent, cold-hardy tree! Its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease makes it a sturdy and tough choice for planting.
Developed from a parent American Elm that was the lone survivor of Dutch Elm, this tree is guaranteed to be long-lasting and enjoyed for years to come. Plus, it’s also tolerant of most soil types, making this a relatively easy tree to care for.
With its classic cathedral, umbrella form, the lovely shape of this tree will transform any space! You can even spot some small, green flowers amongst the green leaves in spring. In fall, the leaves change to a stunning yellow.
If you’re hoping to add some greenery to a park, boulevard, or other open space where larger trees are desired, the Prairie Expedition® Elm is very tolerant of urban pollution! Plus, this tree is adaptable to most weather, including dry conditions and even some standing water. With proper care, it can live to be 100 years or older!

Better Than From Local Nursery
Arrived healthy and strong and very well packed. Carrier completely ignored "this side up" markings on the carton but both trees and pots came through as though just packed. Opening up the heavy carton was perfect for piling the dirt up on while digging the hole and then be able to get all of it back when planting the tree instead of loosing a lot of it into the surrounding grass. Was late evening when finished planting them. Deer stripped all the leaves off both of them during the night and broke the main trunk over on one about half-way up. Stood it back up and the jagged break fit back together, so I taped it up like a graft. and finished with surrounding them with wire. New leaves budded the next day and both of them are fully leafed out again. Photos are 5 wks after planting and they both have thick leaf cover as of this writing 9 wks from planting.

Elm looks great. Planted 3 days after arriving and seems to be taking to new surroundings
Great!
I planted one last year and it came back like gangbusters this year. Bought two more this Spring and they're doing great.
Great tree
It came very quick, one little leaf was broke - it came blooming leaves- very nice.
