A newly-installed Princeton Elm stands proud at the corner of Elm Street and School Way. It was installed by the Bedford DPW to celebrate Arbor Day, 2016.

The tree will eventually shade the bench donated last year in memory of Matthew “Matty” Langone. The bench has become a popular neighborhood gathering place.

Princeton Elms provide ‘high canopy shade,” and a proven, scientific record of resistance to Dutch Elm disease.
