Online Seminars has an article called Tree of the Seminar. It is available for reading at the website during May and June.

on-line-seminars.com - Tree of the Seminar

Except for its oval form I think this tree is a great substitute for the American Elm. Anyone disagree?

The most attractive contemporary elm I have encountered in immature form I feel is the "Valley Forge". Are you familiar with this Len. I don't think you reply to any of these though do you?

Here is a picture of Commendation Elm.

Accolade is my most favorite elm, but I do like this tree. Valley Forge is one of the American Liberty Group and we don't know yet if it will get DED.

I obviously will defer to the expert, you Len, but how is it proven that any of them don't get ded without a large time increment. The lab doesn't provide that and successions of attack may a factor.

I like the Valley Forge bcs it has, unlike Accolade, etc., large size leaves and develops the cascading effect of the drop dead beautiful mature A. Elm. Fast growth and not the usual corresponding weak growth that is storm damage prone. I'll get a pict. after work of mine and I have planted quite a few.

Oriental elms are just a silver maple in elm's (sheep's) clothing (leaves).
