Native Elms, once a quintessential feature of the British landscape, have become quite rare in the UK since the arrival of Dutch Elm Disease in the 20th century, so Wych Elm (which is less attractive to the beetles that spread the disease) and the hybrid Wingham Elm are the best choices for recreating the Elm forests of the past.
We also grow the Japanese Sapporo Autumn Gold Elm.
What size Elm trees should I buy?
- If you are not in a hurry to get a full sized Elm tree, we recommend starting with the smaller 6/8cm girth size.
- If you are in a hurry and need instant impact, then go for the 8/10cm girth size.
Standard trees are measured by their girth 1 metre above the ground, and young saplings are measured by height.
So, a 6/8cm Standard Elm tree is much bigger than an 60/80cm sapling Elm tree. If a tree is available in both sizes, it will be noted in the product description.
