Accolade Elm (Ulmus davidiana var. japonica 'Morton')

Accolade Elm is a large deciduous shade tree valued for its graceful vase-shaped habit, glossy green foliage, and strong resistance to several common elm problems. Its arching branch structure gives the landscape a classic American elm look while offering improved dependability for modern planting sites. This fast-growing tree is well suited for lawns, streetscapes, parks, large residential properties, and open spaces where broad shade and strong structure are needed. With full sun, well-drained soil, and room to mature, Accolade Elm brings height, canopy, and long-term character to the landscape.

Distinctive Features

Accolade Elm develops a broad vase-shaped canopy with upright arching branches that create an elegant, high-branching shade tree form. The foliage is glossy dark green through the growing season and typically turns yellow in fall before leaf drop. Small inconspicuous flowers appear in spring, followed by flat winged samaras that are typical of elms. This selection is especially valued for its excellent resistance to Dutch elm disease and useful resistance to elm leaf beetle and elm leaf miner, making it a stronger landscape option than many older elm selections.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in full sun, where it develops strong branching, dense foliage, and the best overall canopy form.
  • Soil: Adapts to a range of well-drained soils, including average urban soils, clay loam, and moderately dry sites once established.
  • Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide supplemental water during extended drought to support healthy growth and canopy density.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 4 to 9.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 50 to 60 feet tall and 25 to 40 feet wide with age.
  • Habit: Forms a medium to large deciduous shade tree with an upright vase-shaped habit and arching limbs.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a large shade tree focal point in open lawns, parks, wide front yards, or spacious landscapes where its vase-shaped canopy can develop fully.
  • Street Tree: Plant along parkways, broad streetscapes, and municipal plantings where a tough, upright shade tree is needed.
  • Shade Tree: Use in large residential or commercial landscapes to provide summer shade, canopy structure, and long-term landscape presence.
  • Urban Landscape: Plant in suitable urban settings where its adaptability, disease resistance, and upright branching make it useful for managed landscapes.
  • Open Space Planting: Use in parks, campuses, large lawns, and public landscapes where a durable elm can provide scale and seasonal interest.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water deeply during the first few growing seasons to establish a strong root system, then water during prolonged dry periods as needed.
  • Mulching: Apply a wide mulch ring to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce mower damage near the trunk.
  • Pruning: Prune young trees to develop strong branch spacing and a stable central framework while removing crossing, damaged, or poorly attached branches.
  • Fertilizing: Fertilize only when needed based on soil conditions, since established elms often perform well in average soils.
  • Spacing: Provide plenty of room away from buildings, overhead wires, and narrow beds so the mature canopy can develop properly.
  • Monitoring: Watch for common elm insects, cankers, leaf spots, and stress-related issues, especially during drought or poor site conditions.

Why Choose Accolade Elm?

  • Classic Elm Form: Develops a graceful vase-shaped canopy with arching branches that recalls the look of traditional American elms.
  • Disease Resistance: Offers excellent resistance to Dutch elm disease along with useful resistance to elm leaf beetle and elm leaf miner.
  • Fast Growth: Establishes and grows quickly when planted in a suitable site with enough room, light, and moisture.
  • Urban Adaptability: Handles a range of soil types and landscape conditions better than many less adaptable shade trees.
  • Strong Shade Value: Provides broad summer canopy, glossy foliage, yellow fall color, and long-term structure for large landscapes.

Accolade Elm is an excellent choice for gardeners, property managers, and landscape professionals who want the graceful look of a classic elm with improved modern performance. Its vase-shaped habit, glossy foliage, yellow fall color, fast growth, and disease resistance make it a dependable shade tree for spacious residential landscapes, streetscapes, parks, and open public spaces.

Nice for the price
Set name: 5.1 Receiver, Set name: 5.1 Receiver
Was extremely easy to set up. The automatic sound balancing works good. Sound quality is good as is the surround sound feature. I personally feels it loses a bit of sound quality when connecting a Bluetooth item like my phone. Otherwise, I am satisfied.

Far superior to price comparable Sony receiver
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
I want to compare this to Sony STRDH590, which I owned before this and is of a comparable price. My Sony stopped receiving signal from its remote control within 2 years. There was no way to control many features due to this. The Yamaha has a wide range of buttons on the front if the remote fails. Now that I have this Yamaha and can compare the sound, this is MUCH better than the Sony. The sound is crisp and clear. This Yamaha receiver has a 5ch stereo expansion setting and the Sony did not even have that. This receiver also has a direct setting that turns off all extra parts of the stereo to attempt to get a clearer signal, including the front panel. The Sony has the nicer input ports (the ones that take the banana plugs) only on the left and right channel where this Yamaha has them for all five channels. The subwoofer output from the Yamaha is considerably better than the Sony and produces a cleaner sound. The Yamaha setup is extremely easy and takes just a few minutes with the included microphone. So far I haven't had too much difficulty with voices being quiet in movies. There are several applicable sound options for how to process movie input. The only downsides to this Yamaha are that it only has 4 HDMI inputs and doesn't support eARC. According to the marking ARC is only on the first HDMI input.

Excellent sound and function
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
We're very pleased with this unit. We use a 3.1 system in our TV area, stereo plus center channel and subwoofer. It's nice that this unit supports that. We get very nice imaging from this, and don't really miss the surround speakers. **We had to replace the old HDMI cables with new ones that could handle the larger bandwidth of 4K. If you're cables are 5-10 years old like ours, newer cables are required to carry a modern video signal. We like the Yamaha sound, and are able to EQ it easily to sound right for the room. I've used several receivers over the years of various brands. Yamaha consistently delivers good sound and reliable product. I've never had a Yamaha product fail and fewer than 15 years. There are other units out there with more gadgets and gizmos, bills and whistles, not to mention smoke and mirrors. We want a good sounding reliable unit that plays nice with all of our AV sources and TVs. If that's what you're looking for, look no further than this unit right here. If you get a good price on this, it's unbeatable. Sony, Onkyo, Denon, Marantz, etc. - they all make good units with signature sounds. If you aren't familiar with them, and If you can't listen to a bunch of stuff, buy this with confidence. Here's an unsolicited recommendation: high quality speakers will do more to improve your listening experience than any receiver. If you're looking for an upgrade, start with your front speakers.

Love my Yamahas
Set name: 5.1 Receiver
RX 385 replaces my much-loved 10 year old RX 375, which I inadvertently fried while experimenting. The 385 has some newer features, including bluetooth. The old model and this both use the handy YPAO function to tune the audio speakers' depth of field to the listening environment. It's a broadcast mic that you just plug into the front of the receiver for a few seconds to determine each speakers' distance from viewer. Kind of a sonic echo measurement of seating to speaker. It's a foolproof, remarkably clever, timesaving gizmo. The YPAO mic is absolutely included with this unit, looks like a little plastic cone. Also important to me, Yamaha has replaced the old spring clips for rear/side speakers, which are now the better screw and cap posts, as they have always been for the two front speakers. I recommend rocketfish HDMI 4k/8k cables to connect this receiver to your tv and to whatever other components you want, such as a bluray. Sound quality is excellent if your speakers are good. (I like KEFs.) Of course you may prefer wireless speakers, but I'm already committed to wired ones. I used rocktfish banana plugs to connect my speaker wires to the RX 385 receiver's speaker posts. Neat and clean. With a choice of 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center speaker, plus one coaxial plug in for a subwoofer, your movies and programs are going to sound far more detailed and staged than you'd get from the tv or a sound bar. It's a more immersive and compelling experience. (I use only 2 fronts and 2 rears and don't feel I'm missing anything.) Yamaha receivers and other components are my favorites: relatively inexpensive, well designed, solidly built, and not fussy to install. If you find yourself in a pickle there are a couple of helpful youtube videos. I find with the RX385 again that Yamaha does not disappoint me.
