Appearance
The type sometimes reaches heights of 40 m, typically with a broad crown where open-grown, supported by a short bole up to 2 m diameter at breast height . Normally, root suckers are not seen; natural reproduction is by seed alone. The tree is notable for its very tough, supple young shoots, which are always without the corky ridges or 'wings' characteristic of many elms.References:
