| Design Ideas | This outstanding shade tree is truly underutilized in modern landscapes. Lovely as a single specimen, or planted in a small grove.

Tuck away in the far back corner of the landscape, where its fall color will crisply stand out. Popular as a superior replacement for the American Elm. |
