This fast-growing, dense, vase shaped elm
has superior pest resistance and Dutch elm disease resistance.
Prospector was selected from a USDA trial as a replacement for the
American Elm which was devastated by Dutch elm disease. It is a
little smaller than the American elm reaching 50 ft. tall and 25 ft.
crown spread at maturity. Prospector has green leaves with new
leaves emerging orange-red in color and maturing to green giving
contrast during the growing season. Fall color is yellow. It
tolerates adverse sites, soils and will grow best in well-drained
soil. Prospector has vigorous early growth of 3-4 ft. per year and
can be used as street tree, lawn or under power lines due to its
shape and size.
