Discover the remarkable Ulmus crassifolia, commonly known as Cedar Elm, a stunning large deciduous tree that transforms any landscape with its natural beauty and resilience. With a rounded crown and drooping branches adorned with corked ridges, this tree boasts small green leaves that offer a spectacular display of golden yellow in the fall, unless in its southern range where it remains evergreen. This robust tree thrives in full sun and flourishes in rich, well-drained alkaline soils, though it readily adapts to both dry and poor sites. Its insignificant flower yield to unique papery samaras, adding subtle charm to any garden. A host plant for the Mourning Cloak and Question Mark butterflies, the Cedar Elm is perfect for accents, group plantings, borders, woodland and rock gardens, and even by ponds and streams. Beyond its visual appeal, it provides seeds and nesting habitats for wildlife. With excellent drought resistance and tolerance to adverse conditions, Cedar Elm is an ideal shade tree offering medium growth and vibrant fall foliage.
