Princeton Elm <br /> <br /> <br />A true American Elm – not a hybrid – that has proven resistant <br />to Dutch Elm Disease and Elm Leaf Beetle. This fast-growing, <br />vase-shaped tree can reach 60 to 80 feet tall. <br /> <br />Kentucky Coffeetree <br /> <br /> <br />Despite its name, this tree is native to Minnesota. Nowadays, <br />this tree is rare because its seed pods are too difficult for <br />animals to chew through. It is believed that now-extinct <br />megafauna such as mammoths and mastodons spread the <br />seeds by eating the seed pods. Today, we have to collect and <br />process the seeds before planting them. <br /> <br />Cucumber Magnolia <br /> <br /> <br />One of the cold-hardiest magnolia trees that is native to the <br />eastern United States. The tree gets its name from its fruit, which <br />when unripe is green and resembles a small cucumber. Photo <br />credit: Michael Parker <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
