Cedar Elm (Ulmus crassifolia) is a hardy, drought tolerant shade tree that is fast-growing and long-living. It can withstand adverse conditions and, unlike other elms, Cedar Elm has flowers and fruit in the fall. The symbolism of this tree is associated with strength and endurance.
Cypress (Cupressus) is a common name of different kinds of species of cypress. They love full sun and grow very tall as high as 70 feet. The symbolism of this tree is associated with the heavens, immortality and hope.
