Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many minor pest problems, with wooly aldelgids being especially serious in the…

Tree Tsuga caroliniana [Carolina Hemlock] Slower growth than Tsuga canadensis and less variable in size and form. Performs better under city conditions than T. canadensis. Still, like T. canadensis, foliage browns in dry soil, drying wind, and winter sun in very exposed sites, and it does not tolerate long periods of drought. Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many different kinds of minor pest problems.
Tree Ulmus americana 'Princeton' [Princeton American Elm] This American Elm cultivar retains the attractive vase-shaped form that the American Elm is known for and has some resistance to both the elm leaf beetle and Dutch Elm Disease, which is caused by Ophiostoma ulmi.

Tree Ulmus americana 'Valley Forge' [Valley Forge American Elm] This cultivar has the classic vase-like form and ascending branches that the American elm is know for, while also having the best Dutch elm disease resistance of the new "Dutch elm resistant" cultivars. Important to stake when young.
