Bower & Brach Landscape Design Tip

Use New Horizon Elm to frame outdoor spaces such as patios, lawns, or entryways. Its upright form creates natural “arches” that can visually guide movement through the landscape. Pair it with understory flowering trees like crabapples or serviceberries for layered seasonal interest, and with perennials at its base to soften its strong trunk line.
