This stately elm tree is perfectly located in the center of the driveway. The canopy receives full sunlight to the southern exposure and grows significantly every year. We perform outer canopy pruning every other year, and inside the canopy we have installed six steel cables with eyebolts to reduce the exposure for limb failure. This is one of my favorite trees in the community.
