Paul Reebel, senior tree inspector for New Rochelle, described the Princeton Elm planted at Hudson Park as a resilient shade tree chosen for its growth habit and disease resistance. "It's a fast growing, strong tree that can resist many diseases and bugs," Reebel said, and he explained that the species' dark gray bark, serrated leaves and samara seeds are characteristic identifying features.
Reebel described the tree's expected mature size (50 to 70 feet tall and near 50 feet wide), its summer foliage and golden fall color, and asked students and volunteers to help it get established as a community asset.
