Ulmus laevis

Ulmus laevis

Ulmus laevis, also known as smooth elm or snail elm, is a stately deciduous tree. It is native to Europe.

It grows up to 35 meters tall.

The leaves are elliptical, doubly serrated, with a characteristically asymmetrical base. The upper surface is smooth and glabrous.

The flowers are small, clustered, and appear in early spring before the leaves emerge.

The fruits are flattened nuts surrounded by a broad wing, densely hairy on the edges, and borne on long peduncles.

Ulmus laevis prefers fertile, deep, and constantly moist soil.

It is highly frost-hardy and prefers a sunny or partly sunny location.
