The Best Garden and Forest Tree of 2025!!!
Let me present to you……..
The American Elm.
It’s one of North Americas favourite trees.
The leaves, the seeds, the bark.
The Elm has eloquent and distinguising features.
This majestic tree will reach for the sky.
Towering up to 100 feet high.
Plant this tree where you can get a good view of it.
Did You Know?
Mature trees can produce double the amount of oxygen a person needs each day.
The American Elm can practically grow anywhere. It’s hardy down to zone 2.
This Buartnuts tree is a cross between a japanese heartnut and a butternut tree. Growing to a height of 50 feet in some cases, the parent plants are healthy specimans and with no diesease.
The Heartnut was introduced from Japan over 100 years ago and is now recognised as one of the best ornamentals of the nut tree species. With it’s luxurious, almost tropical foilage, the buartnut provides a dense shade, yet grass still grows under it.
Buartnuts, along with other members of the japanese walnut species, thrives in both clay and sandy soils.
Nut tree experts describe it as a “veritable goat in it’s feeding habits, making it a rapid grower.”
