The Chinese Elm contrasts with its patterned, mottled bark and small, simple leaves. It’s highly resistant to diseases commonly affecting other elms, making it a sturdy and long-lasting choice for various landscapes.
As a small to medium deciduous or semi-deciduous tree, the Chinese Elm can reach heights of up to 59 ft. Its slender trunk and crown, along with its leathery, lustrous green, single-toothed leaves, give it a unique and striking appearance. The fruit, a samara, is elliptic to ovate-elliptical, mostly glabrous, and matures by late autumn.
