Re: the American Elm returns!

I believe you are referring to "the liberty elm". This is not
a single clone but a collection of trees, a seed strain a believe, that
was developed over a number a years at the Elm Tree Institute in
Harrisville, NH, using seed from resistance trees.  They have been
distributed to selected sites for a number of years and should become
more readily available soon.  Of course, none of these trees are really
old yet so, while resistant, they are probably not immune.

I purchased the "Jackson" elm from Arborvillage Farm this fall.  It is
supposed to be resistant (over 50 years old) and have a white oak form
covering an acre.  This sounds a lot like a tree I view often in Mount
Auburn
cemetery around Boston.  The Mt.. Auburn tree is stunning, but always
surprises
guests who never guess that it's an American elm.  Has anyone grown
or seen a Jackson elm?
