Elm is described as a native shade tree of the Northwest and North Dakota, not as a fruit cultivar. Northwest Nursery Co. presents it as a leading yard tree, especially where large specimens can be used in city yards or along streets. [S1]
The nursery used local seed. It says seed was collected from selected native elms in Chautauqua Park at Valley City, North Dakota. This ties the stock to trees already proven in the state. [S1]
The tree is valued for its form and shade. The catalog says elm has wide spreading, overhanging branches that provide shade without blocking the view. [S1]
Its main use is as a specimen shade tree. The nursery says every grove and yard should have a few large specimens. It does not recommend elm as strongly for grove planting because young trees grow slowly and seedlings are not very hardy. Large trees are said to transplant readily. [S1]
The available source gives no edible fruit use, cultivar parentage, release date, formal species name, or hardiness zone. The hardiness evidence is local and practical: the catalog treats elm as native to North Dakota, but also warns that seedlings are not very hardy. [S1]
