Ulmus alata
Winged Elm is a large, native, deciduous shade tree that grows to be 45’-70’ tall with a 30’-40’ canopy. They grow best in full sun to partial shade and well-draining average soil, though they are highly adaptable to different conditions. These trees have “winged” corky bark and dark green serrated leaves that form a dense canopy, making them an excellent addition to yards in need of shade. Their branches provide cover for birds and small mammals, which feed on the seeds in early spring and the insects that feed on the foliage.
