Jefferson American Elm is a tall native deciduous tree with upward sweeping branching forming a vase-shaped habit.  The toothed dark green leaves are rough with asymmetrical bases and turn a vibrant yellow in fall.  Inconspicuous green flowers bloom in spring before the foliage.  Grows best with full sun and rich well-drained soils. Tolerates drought and urban pollution.  Jefferson is a sterile cultivar and has excellent Dutch Elm disease resistance.
