Ulmus pumila 20-70cm

1. Location: Plant Siberian Elm in a location with full sun to partial shade. It tolerates a wide range of soil types but prefers well-drained soil.
2. Watering: While it is drought-tolerant once established, young trees should be watered regularly, especially during dry spells, to encourage healthy root development.
3. Pruning: Prune the tree to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the canopy. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
4. Fertilization: Fertilize young trees in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to promote vigorous growth. Mature trees generally do not require regular fertilization unless growing in poor soil.
5. Pest and Disease Control: Siberian Elms are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but occasional issues such as aphids, scale insects, and leaf spots may occur. Monitor the tree regularly and address any problems promptly.
6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil structure. Keep the mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.
7. Winter Protection: In colder climates, young trees may benefit from winter protection, such as wrapping the trunk with burlap or providing a windbreak, to prevent frost damage.
8. Propagation: Propagate Siberian Elm from seeds collected in the fall or by taking hardwood cuttings in late winter. Seeds should be stratified before planting to improve germination rates.
