Elm Tree Facts & Information on Elm Trees

Until the arrival of the Dutch elm disease, the beautiful elm was used as a landscape tree throughout the temperate areas of much of North America. The elms found on this continent are a mixture of native and imported varieties. All are deciduous trees, usually with toothed oval leaves. The seeds, technically called samaras, have one smooth or hairy wing. The wood of the elm has long been prized by furniture and piano makers for its strength, weight and toughness. Due to the Dutch Elm Disease, a fungus spread by elm bark beetles, the elm is much less popular as a landscape tree now than was once the case.
