Why Prairie Expedition® Elm Trees
The Prairie Expedition ® Elm Tree, also known as the Lewis and Clark Elm, is an excellent, cold-hardy tree! Its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease makes it a sturdy and tough choice for planting.
Developed from a parent American Elm that was the lone survivor of Dutch Elm, this tree is guaranteed to be long-lasting and enjoyed for years to come. Plus, it’s also tolerant of most soil types, making this a relatively easy tree to care for.
With its classic cathedral, umbrella form, the lovely shape of this tree will transform any space! You can even spot some small, green flowers amongst the green leaves in spring. In fall, the leaves change to a stunning yellow.
If you’re hoping to add some greenery to a park, boulevard, or other open space where larger trees are desired, the Prairie Expedition® Elm is very tolerant of urban pollution! Plus, this tree is adaptable to most weather, including dry conditions and even some standing water. With proper care, it can live to be 100 years or older!
If you’re eager to add a resilient shade tree to your space, order the Prairie Expedition® Elm Tree today!

Prague Elm
Tall, skinny. We’ll see how it does in 2026
Doing great in northern PA
Love this tree! Fast growing and strong with dense, beautiful leaves. It provides a unique look in my neighborhood full of oaks and maples. Service from this company is great too! They even answered some questions for me regarding care and pruning months after my purchase.

Excellent
Missing Elm
I grew up with Elm trees in Michigan that were already 40lbs old at our family home. Dutch elm disease took them all and I’ve missed them ever since. This elm is in great shape disease resistant and I’m looking forward to watch it mature. Would recommend to anyone.
Awesome tree!
This is an absolutely beautiful tree. I love the look of the leaves and all their textures. My order was processed quickly and I got him and another plant super fast!! I love the selection that Fast Growing Trees has. You simply cannot find that in your local nurseries.
