Seeds per packet: ~100

BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

Life cycle: Perennial

'Princeton' is perhaps the most famous cultivar of American elm, noted for its moderate resistance to the fearsome Dutch Elm Disease, which has decimated populations of the stately tree across the US. Released in 1922 by nurseryman William Flemer of Princeton Nurseries —  once the largest commercial nursery in the US, at over 1,000 acres — 'Princeton' elm trees can be found lining Pennsylvania Avenue by the White House, in botanical gardens around the world the Arnold Arboretum in Massachusetts to Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in the UK, and in Princeton, New Jersey, itself, as part of a nearly mile-long colonnade of trees called the Washington Road Elm Allée, planted in the 1920s (of the original 136 elms planted, 76 still survive today). The resistance to Dutch Elm Disease is not complete, but it still considered among the best (along with 'New Harmony') that we have. Typically propagated by cuttings, seeds like these offer the opportunity of finding new cultivars with even more resistance.

American elms, also known sometimes as white elms or water elms, are native to eastern North America. With their broad, arching branches, wide crowns, and dark green leaves that turn yellow in fall, along with excellent cold hardiness and tolerance of urban conditions, American elms became the street tree of choice across much of the United States during the 19th and early 20th cenuries. Before that, Indigenous people and European colonizers utilized them for a wide variety of medicinal purposes as well, especially respiratory issues like coughs, colds, influenza, lung infections, etc. A fiber from the stems can be used to make paper. The inner bark has been used to make a coffee substitute. And believe it or not, the young leaves are edible and actually taste pretty good — raw or cooked! 

GROWING TIPS: Plant in early spring. Seeds need no stratification. Do not grow trees in a nursery bed or pot for transplanting for more than a year (two at most), because they form a long taproot and do not like to be moved.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!
