Ulmus Americana - The American Elm

The long gone American Elm is back!

The national arboretum has announced the release of the Valley Forge. We welcome it as a replacement for the long gone American Elm. Please visit Elmpost.org, this web site has all you always wanted to know about the elm tree, hundreds of photos and plenty of information. There are other new elms such as the Jefferson, American Liberty, Princeton, Washington and the New Harmony, but the Valley Forge seems to be by far the tree that has the best resistance against the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease that killed millions of elms on the latter half of the last century. I have some of the Valley Forge trees here, they are between 1 and 2 ft. tall, and the price is $20.00 each plus shipping. I don't sell cuttings because these trees are very hard to propagate - hence the high price. I will be selling trees only. Here is your chance to plant history... now! I am sorry, the demand was greater than the supply I completely ran out of Valley Forge Elms for 2008. I made many phone calls all over the US looking for more trees, nobody has any of them to sell. I still have about 10 that are very small, I will be shipping them later on this year, when they get large enough to ship. I also have some 7 ft. trees in 4 gallon containers, but those you would have to pick up. If you are interested, please send me email, I will put you in the waiting list.
