Birth Certificate - Beware of Imposters! Only Certified Princeton American Elms Are True DED Resistant!


As Many Imposter's appear in the Market, the Number One thing to Remember is that if the Princeton American Elm does not come with its own Birth Certificate, certifying that is grown on its own root and was born in the year of 2006 for example, then it is not a Sharp Top Tree River edge Brand Princeton American Elm and may not be totally DED (Dutch Elm Disease) Resistant.

If you can not prove it is grown on its on root, then planting, purchasing the tree is a waste, as it could die from DED if not on its own root. Here is a copy of the Birth Certificate we issue with each tree that leaves the Nursery. The Born on date will vary, but the certificate will not and each tree comes with its own Birth Certificate.

So check with your local Garden Centers and Nurseries to see if they carry the tree and if they dont, ask them too. Dont forget to check the blog here for list of Distributors in your area or email me if you need more information. jared@sharptoptree.com
