Elm Tree
The Elm Tree is a deciduous tree known for its tall stature and broad canopy. It typically grows between 60 to 100 feet high and can live for several decades. Elm trees are characterized by their serrated leaves and distinctive, rough bark. They thrive in a variety of soil types and are often found in urban areas due to their resilience.
Historically, Elm Trees were popular for their strong wood, which was used in furniture and construction. However, many populations have been affected by Dutch Elm Disease, a fungal infection that has significantly reduced their numbers in some regions. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect and restore Elm Tree populations.
