Since 40 years Resista® elms are widely distributed throughout North America, and in Europe they have been planted since 1982 in hundreds of different locations. Their resistance to DED (dutch elm disease - Ophiostoma novo-ulmi) always proves at any location, and in addition is severely tested year by year by using the most virulent pathogenes.
 

Resista® elms are adapted to a wide range of different soils, from sandy to compacted heavy, from dry to very humid, alongside streets and even on rubble. They grow best alongside rivers on areas sometimes waterlogged. As all trees the Resista® elms show best performances on good soils with adequate water supply, but even under bad conditions they grow well. They don't mind salt treatment of roads in winter.

Resista® elms are easy. Only little pruning is necessary in the crown. Leaves decompose fast and easily, no fruits to worry about, no honey dew.

Resista® elms are very resistant to wind, branches seldom break, and are frost resistant resist. Even thick layers of snow are tolerated. Rapid healing from traffic damages.

Resista® elms are healthy, fast growing trees – within 5 years the circumference of 15 cm gets up to 30 cm and more. Depending on variety and location they develop a conical to wide crown with upright branches and main stem going straight through to the top. They are tolerant to adverse condition in city centres.

Resista® elms grow on their own roots - they are never grafted. Thus the resistance versus DED is safeguarded. The resistance to Dutch Elm Disease (Ophiostoma novo-ulmi) is being regularily tested in cooperation with the German Federal Institute for Plant Diseases (B.B.A.) in Darmstadt.

Resista® is a registered trade mark. The varieties itself as 'New Horizon' is protected within the E.E.C. under breeders rights and recorded into the official catalogue of varieties. Holder of these rights are the Eisele GmbH & Co KG in Darmstadt.

Major German cities have collaorated over many years to test different tree species and varieties with regard to their adaptability for street plantings. Two of the Resista® elms are recommended. One of them is 'New Horizon'.

Resista® elms are offered throughout Europe by selected nurseries. All young plants are produced on their own root exclusively in Darmstadt for more than 20 years. Skilled staff guarantee the highest possible quality. The young plants of about 4 years of age are given to the partner nurseries for growing until they reach an adequate size to go to the consumer.

Resista® elms contain an implanted 10-digit micro-chip. By this chip every tree can be safely identified. Each delivery is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The trees bear a special Resista® variety label.
