Elm, Winged- containers

Ulmus alata

Description

Winged Elm, also called cork elm, is a hardy, small-to-medium deciduous tree. It grows up to 40-80 feet and has a broadly round crown with straight trunk. Its reddish-green fruit ripens in April. It is drought-tolerant, grows in most soil types and provides food and habitat for birds and small mammals.

Hardwood containers are grown for conservation plantings on smaller acreages. If you are planting a windbreak, wildlife habitat or any other conservation planting, these seedlings are just the ticket. They are grown in containers that are 2 5/8 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. These seedlings are $5.00 each and are only available in flats of 25 per species. The minimum order is 25 trees. A flat of 25 costs $125. FRC does not ship containerized seedlings. Containerized seedlings must be picked up at FRC.

USDA Hardiness Zones

The primary guide to determine plant hardiness is the USDA Hardiness Zone Map, which divides the United States into ten zones based on average minimum temperatures. Each zone is then subdivided into A and B sections. A plant is said to be hardy if it can tolerate the lowest average winter temperature that occurs in a zone. Hardiness is affected by duration and intensity of sunlight; amount and timing of rainfall; length and severity of summer drought; soil characteristics; slope; frost occurrence; humidity; and cultural practices.
