Drake elm forms an attractive round headed canopy with a broad, spreading crown with pendant branches. Interesting shedding bark on older trees adds to its attraction. Excellent shade tree. Semi-evergreen. Full sun. Fast grower to 30 to 35 feet tall, 40 to 45 feet wide. This is a fine shade tree for lawn or patio. Its weeping form and the shredding bark of older trees make it an interesting addition to the garden. Use it as a focal point. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Shipped as a potted five gallon tree in its original soil and container.
