Difference to related species

prefers warmer and drier habitats than other elm species

Flowers

hermaphrodite flowers

Life form

shrub, treelet, tree

Fruits

ovate samara with central seed as fruit type

Soil conditions

on perculating fresh, ocassionally inundated, alkaline, mainly calcareous, loose, more or less humus-rich, stony, sandy or pure clay soils

Light conditions

semi-shade, sunny

Root type

taproot

Succession type

pioneer species

Natural occurrence (habitat)

bottomland riparian forests, noble hardwood forests, banks of streams and rivers, sunny slope forests, urban-near neglected hillsides, quarries, field scrubs

Vegetation typ and synecology (plant community)

temperate, mixed mesophytic broad-leaved deciduous forests; characteristic species of the Querco-Ulmetum (association Alno-Ulmion), also in Carpinion or Quercetalia pubesc. as well as in Berberidion communities

Constraints according soil conditions

tolerant of waterlogging, saline soils and winds, drought and pollution

Usage

timber is of high quality and can be used for furniture, flooring and firewood; wood is very resistant to decay from water and is therefore suitable for underwater applications and for building ships; this species was traditionally (in Italy) used as a living support for grapevines

Phytopathogenic organisms

severely endangered by Dutch elm disease caused by the ascomycete fungus Ceratocystis ulmi
