Drake Elm blown down by hurricane Ike

Ohhhhhhhhh.... I wrote to this site after hurricane Rita killed every tree that I had and asked for tree replacement suggestions. I wanted a fast growing tree that plants would grow under. Many suggested this type of tree so I planted a Drake Elm and it grew tall and strong and pretty.

Along comes Hurricane Ike and blew the Drake Elm down. I'm now finding out that three other Elms blew down in my neighborhood so this tree must have shallow roots.

I will replant another tree but must give it more thought.

Anyone have suggestions? I'm 40 miles from the Gulf and the tree will get full South Sun.

thanks in advance,

Dogwood
