Common Hackberry
American Elm

Common Hackberry is a medium sized deciduous tree that is similar to the American Elm but resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Will likely be the replacement tree for Elm in Canadian municipalities.

American Elm is fast growing, tall tree with a recognizable and pleasing shape.

It's well suited for urban environments because of its non-invasive roots and ability to grow on harsh sites (quite salt tolerant). American Elm develops a wide, dense canopy that provides shade for many city streets around North America.
