Planting a New Elm Tree

New Elm

This photo is of a young American Elm tree (foreground) and Peach tree that we planted in Fall 2019. They’ve been established and thriving for just a year now.

The American Elm is a Princeton variety. It is has the highest resistance to Dutch Elm Disease of any surviving Elm varietal. We’re hoping it will continue to thrive and maybe help in a small way with repopulating American cities with majestic Elms again.

    Driving along I-5 in California, I was taken how seemingly every town was like the world’s producer of some random crop. We drove through a town that produces like 95% of the world’s apricots, another one that does rhubarb, another one that does sunflower seeds. It’s really incredible to see. Also, they all had huge bee boxes along the fields letting the bees do their thing.
