How to Select Healthy Siberian Elm？

When selecting a healthy siberian elm, look for vibrant, green leaves devoid of any yellowing or brown spots. Ensure there are no visible pests or signs of disease, such as holes or sticky residue on the leaves. The plant should show overall vigor with strong, upright stems and branches. Also, check the root system by gently removing the plant from its pot; healthy roots are white or light brown and firm to the touch. Steer clear of any plants with wilted or discolored foliage.
