About
American Elm Trees: This is the largest and most widespread
elm in the United States. The tall, drooping crown growing above divided
trunks gives the mature tree a distinctive, vase-like appearance.
The tree grows on rich, moist bottomlands and in ravines, and sometimes
on moist slopes and woodlands.

In
the past it extensively was used as a shade and ornamental tree.
The wood has been used in much the same way as that of the Slippery

will eat the bark and twigs of younger trees.
