The Accolade® Elm, Ulmus 'Morton', has an
excellent resistance to Dutch Elm disease. This tree has
an upright, spreading shape. It is a fast growing tree
that has dark green foliage in summer. It creates an
excellent shade tree for larger yards or street
plantings.
Elms prefer full sun and adapt easily to extremes in
pH, moisture, wind and heat. They do prefer
well-drained, sandy, loamy or clay soils. The aggressive
roots can probably break sidewalks and raise pavement if
trees are improperly located.
Accolade® Elm Disease and Pest Resistance
The Accolade Elm has an excellent disease and pest
resistance, drought tolerance, and good yellow fall
color. It has a rapid growth rate and adaptability to
urban conditions.
In its 80+ years the original tree at Morton has
survived three epidemics of Dutch Elm Disease there
unscathed. However, two trees included in trials at the
University of Minnesota were found to be afflicted by
the disease in 2004, although one appears to have
recovered completely.
'Morton' has also proved to be highly resistant to
Elm Yellows and the elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca
luteola. Trees grown in England suffered from Elm Black
Spot (Elm anthracnose) in wet summers.
