description

The Dutch elm is a large, deciduous tree that reaches heights of up to 40 meters and has a continuous trunk (terminal shoot). It forms a dense, compact and richly branched crown. The ovate-elliptical, deeply double-serrated leaves are 8 to 12 cm long.

He is a deep-rooter who prefers moderately dry to moist (optimally moist), deep, nutrient-rich, slightly acidic to alkaline clay soils. The Dutch elm is frost-hardy, tolerates heat and loves warmth, tolerates flooding, is wind-resistant, flowers and has a strikingly strong fruiting.
