Tilia × euchlora

[Crimean Linden]

The Crimean Linden is similar to the Littleleaf Linden, but with a more informal habit and slightly more pendulous branches with maturity. Often sold in grafted form, and these trees can have trouble with suckers from the rootstock. Never colorful, but a good shade tree that is well-adapted to most city conditions and relatively troublefree. Functions as a small tree for many years. Reportedly more resistant to aphids than other Tilia. Japanese beetles can feed…

Tilia tomentosa

[Silver Linden]

Very adaptable, even alkaline soil, but it doesn't tolerate much air pollution. More heat and drought tolerant than other lindens. Japanese beetles are attracted to the foliage. Attractive light-gray, smooth bark approaches beech like in appearance.

Tilia tomentosa ‘Sterling’

[Sterling Linden]

Tilia tomentosa 'Sterling' shows some resistance to Japanese beetle.

Tsuga canadensis

[Canadian Hemlock]

One of the finest plants for evergreen hedges; even the faster growing forms can be kept to 4-8' tall without difficulty. Dwarf forms are excellent rock garden or border specimens. Foliage browns in dry soil, drying wind, and winter sun in very exposed sites. Does not tolerate long periods of drought. Can be scorched by full sun and temperatures above 95 degrees F. Many minor pest problems, with wooly aldelgids being especially serious in the…

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.

Ulmus alata

[Winged Elm]

Ulmus americana

[American Elm]

American Elm, also known as White, Gray, Water, or Swamp Elm. Previously, a common street tree but the Dutch elm disease killed many trees. Although, with maintenance programs some trees are able to hold back the disease.

Ulmus americana 'Jefferson'

[Jefferson Elm]

'Jefferson' is a cultivar with ovate-elliptic dark green leaves that are asymetrical at the base and are toothed at its margins.

Ulmus americana 'New Harmony'

[New Harmony Elm]

'New Harmony' is a cultivar of American elm, it has a vigerous growth rate and a more narrow vase shape than other varieties. It has great disease tolerance of Dutch Elm Disease (DED).

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. (Dutch Elm Disease has lead to the near extinction of the American Elm in the US). Many other diseases can cause damage to this cultivar, though.
