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!

Excited to say the least
I have had a heck of a time getting trees to take. We have very hard clay soil in the Montana prairie and the wind is not our friend. I'm already excited at the probability of much needed foliage, shade, and life to our yard. I'm so glad I found this variety of elm. Looking forward to the summer growth!
Beautiful tree!
The experience was great!The tree is in great condition.
New tree
Can't really rate this tree yet as it's only been in the ground for about 3 days. When this tree arrived some leaves were off the tree in the box. Other leaves were wilted (as expected) but came back with a little water. Hopefully this tree will grow quickly and provide the shade.
Arrived in excellent condition.
