Triumph™ Elm

This elm is the result of cultivation between Accolade and Vanguard elms. The Triumph elm features a graceful upright habit and strong branching. You can expect this elm to grow about 60 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Small green leaves start to appear in the spring. These glossy leaves feature tooth-margins and asymmetrical bases. The Triumph elms also produce wafer-like samaras that mature around April. During the fall, the dark green leaves transform into a burnished golden yellow hue. You will want to add this tree to your landscape for its color and hardiness. The Triumph elm is prized for its resistance to Dutch elm disease, elm yellows, and the elm leaf beetle.

During the young tree’s first season, the elm needs a medium amount of water. When the weather turns hotter, you may have to boost the watering schedule. However, once the Triumph has established in your yard, it can survive those periodic droughts. You still need to apply supplemental water to encourage a healthy tree. When the trees have enough moisture, they remain healthy and stress-free. You might want to add some mulch around the roots to keep them moist and cool. While pruning the Triumph elm is not necessary, you can cut the branches in the early spring. You need to be careful when pruning this tree, and you should never cut the tree when it is young. Untrained pruning can cause the canopy to become unbalanced.
