Native • Hardy • Low-Maintenance

The Cedar Elm is a tough, adaptable native tree ideal for urban and rural landscapes alike. Known for its small, deep green leaves and rugged bark, it thrives in a wide range of conditions and makes an excellent shade or street tree.

Growing Zones:
Zones 6–9 — Perfect for the southern and central U.S., including much of Texas, the Southeast, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic.

Soil Preferences:
Cedar Elm tolerates clay, loam, limestone, rocky, and sandy soils—even poorly drained areas. It prefers well-drained soil, but is extremely drought-tolerant once established.

Planting Instructions:

Choose a sunny spot – full sun is best (6+ hours of direct sunlight).

Dig a hole twice as wide as the liner’s root plug and just as deep.

Gently loosen roots if compacted.

Place the liner in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.

Backfill with native soil (no need to amend).

Water thoroughly after planting.

Watering Guide:

Water deeply 2–3 times per week for the first 2 months.

After establishment (3–4 months), water during extended dry periods only.

Avoid shallow frequent watering—deep, infrequent watering encourages strong root development.

Fertilizer:

Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 14-14-14) in early spring.

Avoid over-fertilizing; native trees like Cedar Elm often require very little.
