Bower & Brach Landscape Design Tip

Use New Horizon Elm to frame outdoor spaces such as patios, lawns, or entryways. Its upright form creates natural “arches” that can visually guide movement through the landscape. Pair it with understory flowering trees like crabapples or serviceberries for layered seasonal interest, and with perennials at its base to soften its strong trunk line.

DETAILS
FAQ

Why plant New Horizon Elm?

New Horizon Elm was developed as part of a breeding program to restore the elm’s prominence in North American landscapes. By combining Asian elm toughness with a form inspired by the iconic American Elm, it brings both beauty and resilience to today’s gardens and streetscapes. Its upright vase shape and vigorous growth rate make it a practical and attractive shade tree. Most importantly, it was bred to resist the devastating Dutch elm disease that decimated elm populations in the last century. With New Horizon, you can once again enjoy the classic elm look, without the worries.

How to use New Horizon Elm in the landscape?

New Horizon Elm is a versatile choice for home and community landscapes where quick shade and structure are needed. Its uniform vase shape and medium height make it ideal for lining driveways, streets, and boulevards, where it echoes the timeless look of elm-lined avenues. In residential settings, it can be planted as a centerpiece shade tree in the front yard, or to anchor large outdoor living spaces. Its tolerance of challenging urban conditions, including compacted soil, air pollution, and road salt, makes it especially valuable in city environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is New Horizon Elm resistant to Dutch elm disease?

Yes. New Horizon Elm was bred specifically for strong resistance to Dutch elm disease and also shows good tolerance to elm leaf beetle, making it a dependable modern elm.

How large does New Horizon Elm grow?

New Horizon Elm matures at about 30–40 feet tall and 20–30 feet wide, making it slightly smaller and more manageable than some elm varieties, while still offering excellent shade.

Does New Horizon Elm need pruning?
