American Elm vs Ironwood TreeUlmus americana Ostrya virginiana SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
American Elm is fast growing, tall tree with a recognizable and pleasing shape.
Ironwood Tree is one of the strongest and most resilient trees you will find in North America. In fact, it has the hardest and most dense wood of any North American tree. Prized for its oval shaped canopy and showy winter trunk, this striking shade tree will make a beautiful addition to any yard. Make sure you do not plant near roads as it is highly salt sensitive.
