Ulmus 'New Horizon'
Elm (Ulmus 'New Horizon') is a deciduous tree growing up to 15 metres tall. It has a unique, upright form which is commonly been used in parks and public gardens since its introduction in 1988. Its bark is grey-brown with attractive corky ridges along the branches. The dark green foliage turns yellow and light pink in autumn as temperatures drop. The waxy, dark green leaves are strong and resistant to most diseases and pests, providing an attractive specimen for the garden. It grows best in a moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or partly shady location. Its graceful form makes a picturesque sight when planted in a row on either side of a driveway or path.

watering
Elm (Ulmus 'New Horizon') plants should be watered 1 to 2 times per week. The frequency and amount of watering depends on the conditions of the plant's environment. During the growing season, water the plant until the soil is moist but not saturated. During the winter months, the soil should be kept slightly dry. If the plant is in a container, check the soil for moisture before adding water. When watering, avoid getting water on the leaves or stems as this may cause leaf spot or other diseases.
sunlight
Elm (Ulmus 'New Horizon') prefer partial to full sun exposure. To keep them healthy, this particular species thrive in 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. During the warmer months the optimal sunlight exposure would be early morning sun and early evening sun, avoiding the heat of the midday sun. In more temperate climates, they would benefit from full sun exposure. In the colder months, when temperatures drop, the needed sunlight exposure can decrease.
pruning
Elm (Ulmus 'New Horizon') should be pruned twice a year- once in late winter and once in mid summer. It is important to prune the elm during its dormant season, which is in late winter, to promote strong, healthy growth and a neat, compact shape. Cuts should be made no more than 1/3 of the total branch length and should immediately below an outward facing bud. During the summer months, remove any dead branches that have developed and any suckers growing from the ground. More significantly, try to remove crossing branches, as these can cause strain on the trunk and can weaken the overall tree.
