Why Emerald Sunshine® Elm Trees?
This newly cultivated elm is everything you need in an elm tree. The Emerald Sunshine® Elm Tree provides superior performance and tolerance without sacrificing on beauty. Elms were nearly wiped out due to disease, but with new cultivators like the Emerald Sunshine® Elm Tree, they're coming back better than ever.
The leaves of the Emerald Sunshine® Elm are corrugated and emerge bronze. And as the leaves mature, they deepen into a glossy green that shines in the sun. But the colors don’t stop there! In fall, the leaves turn to lovely yellows and reds to dazzle your landscape with autumnal color.
The Emerald Sunshine® Elm’s sturdy, upright growth habit makes it ideal for planting in multiples and creating shade. You can utilize it to create rows or add visual interest to open areas in your yard. Plus, with its ability to adapt to a wide range of soils, your Emerald Sunshine® Elm will provide a happy shaded spot wherever it's planted.
The Emerald Sunshine® Elm is a majestic tree that grows in a symmetrical growth habit. And although it's smaller than most elms, it delivers in tolerance and low-maintenance. Promising superior performance in hot, arid and windy areas, it's truly one of the most tolerant elms ever cultivated. It’s also resistant to elm leaf beetle, Japanese beetle, and Dutch Elm Disease.
Add effortless shade and deep autumn color to your landscape with the Emerald Sunshine® Elm. Order now before they sell out!

Our tree arrived safely and
Our tree arrived safely and was planted the same day. Is this a grafted tree? The base of it is strange looking and my only concern is will the trunk at the base grow correctly. Seems a little “off center. ” Will look forward to it leafing out in the spring.
So far, so great :)
Arrived intact in its box. Tree was in great condition, leaves were in great shape… was very excited to plant it right away! It looks beautiful! Thank you! Can’t wait to watch it grown.
Love my Emerald Sunshine Elm!
I got my little elm last spring after my puppy ate the first one and Fast Growing Trees sent me another for free. It arrived in great condition and looked very healthy. It was around 4-5 feet in height when planted and after a year is about 15 feet tall with beautiful glossy leaves. I couldn’t be happier!
