PRINCETON ELM
NEW AMERICAN ELM--Highly resistant to Dutch elm diseasePrinceton American Elm is an old American elm cultivar highly resistant to Dutch Elm Disease - (D.E.D.). Introduced into commerce in 1922, DNA tests show that it probably came from a 280 year old elm tree that Vice President Aaron Burr was buried under in a Princeton cemetery. Work done by A.R.S. geneticist Dr. Denny Townsend and horticulturalist Susan Bentz at the National Arboretum showed that varieties Valley Forge, (Jefferson NA3487), Princeton, Delaware and R18-2 showed the highest tolerance to D.E.D., followed closely by New Harmony.
