Elms  
Elms make up a large percentage of the cultivated and non-cultivated trees in the Southern Great Plains; they are also Steve's particular passion.  The elm's ability to flourish in poor, high pH soils and to withstand drought and extreme heat and cold make them good candidates for use as shade and ornamental plantings.  Unfortunately, elms have fallen out of favor over the last 50 years because of Dutch Elm disease and the ravages of the elm leaf beetle.  New selections and varieties are now available that are resistant, so the elm can once again take it deserved place in the landscape.  Find out more and see the results of the Sunshine Nursery & Arboretum elm evaluations for elm leaf beetle feeding.
