From what I remember about the valley forge it has a similar history to the princeton. Both are Ulmus americana which at some point were selected because they showed better DED resistance compared to other Elms. The Princeton was actually already in production with nurseries before it was found it had a good DED resistance.

Both trees are Ulmus americana and therefore will acquire the traditional elm shape when maturing. I don't have pictures but google valley forge and you will find information about its shape no problem.
