Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + The botanical name Ulmus parvifolia is stated, so you know exactly which species you are sowing
  • + Listing describes the traits that make the species useful: small toothed leaves, fine branching and bark that turns corky with age
  • + 30 seeds leave room to lose some to poor germination and still raise several seedlings to compare

Trade-offs

  • - No germination rate or seed harvest date is given in the listing
  • - Seed-grown elms vary, as the listing itself says, so trunk movement and leaf size differ from plant to plant
