Preparation

• Elms prefer full sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained fertile soil. They adapt to wet or dry soil as well.

• They make good street trees because they tolerate urban conditions, but keep in mind than planting an elm tree near sidewalks can lead to cracks and raised areas.

• You can plant container-grown trees any time of year. Bare root, balled and burlapped (B&B) elms are best planted in spring or late fall.

• Don’t amend the soil in the hole at planting time unless it is very poor. Add a little compost to the fill dirt for poor soils.

• Wait until next spring to fertilize an elm tree.

• Mulch the tree immediately after planting. Mulch helps the soil hold moisture and reduces competition from weeds.
