Accolade® Elm
Ulmus davidiana var japonica ‘Morton’

Accolade® elm has proven to be a robust and vigorous grower, and is also valued for its fine-textured, dark-green glossy foliage, and yellow fall color. This selection has very good resistance to Dutch elm disease and elm yellows, and is also highly resistant to elm leaf beetle. Accolade® elm is a chance seedling selection from The Morton Arboretum collections. Both Accolade® and Danada Charm™ elms resulted from open-pollinated seed collected at the Arnold Arboretum from Ulmus davidiana var. japonica.
