Growing & Maintenance Tips for Ulmus x Triumph™
Plant your Triumph™ Elm in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Drought-tolerant once established. Easily transplanted and quick to establish, it quickly resumes vigorous growth. Prune in late winter to remove dead branches and keep its shape, but avoid pruning during the growing season. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer, and add mulch around the base to retain moisture—just keep it away from the trunk.
